Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash - peeled, seeded and diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup prepared tahini sauce - like Trader Joe’s version
  • Juice from 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp zaatar seasoning
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, toss butternut squash with the olive oil to coat evenly. Place squash onto a baking sheet and season with salt. Cook in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until squash is tender and lightly browned.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the tahini sauce, lemon juice, and water. (This step is done only to thin out the consistency of the tahini sauce. I use Trader Joe’s Tahini Sauce, which is quite thick. If the sauce you use is already thin, then this step can be skipped.)
  • Place squash in a serving bowl, and drizzle with tahini sauce. Then sprinkle the za’atar seasoning over top.
