Description

This recipe is Whole30 compliant, packed with fiber, healthy fats, and jammed with warm flavors like harissa and cinnamon.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 23 pounds Butternut Squash, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 24 Tbsp Harissa Sauce, I used Mina Harissa
  • 1/2 tsp Sumac Powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 45 Pitted Dates, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Toasted Almonds, or Cashews
  • 1/4 cup Tahini
  • Chopped Parsley, or Cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil, or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Toss together the butternut squash, olive oil, harissa, sumac (if using), garlic powder, cinnamon, and salt. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast the squash for 40-45 minutes, or until the squash is tender, and caramelized on the outside.
  4. Remove the squash from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Top with chopped dates, nuts, and drizzle with tahini.
  5. Serve immediately, sprinkling the parsley or cilantro right before serving.
