Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the squash with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Spread on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, toss and bake for another 15 minutes until fork tender. Reduce heat to 350 degrees.
- Add the squash, and any drippings from roasting to a food processor along with nutmeg, seasonings and goat cheese. Blend until completely smooth. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Transfer puree to an oven-proof baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until warmed through. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve with pita chips.
Recipe Note
To make pita chips, cut pitas into triangles, drizzle with olive oil and bake for 5 minutes until golden. Season with salt. Substitute your favorite herb-infused olive oil. Adapted from howsweeteats.com
