Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the butternut squash into thin, even slices. This will help the squash cook evenly.
  • Toss the butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help the squash caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Roast the butternut squash until it is tender and slightly browned. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the butternut squash cool slightly before adding it to the coleslaw. This will help prevent the coleslaw from becoming watery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your coleslaw. This will add color, texture, and flavor to the dish.
  • Add a dressing of your choice to the coleslaw. A simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing are both good options.
  • Serve the coleslaw immediately or chill it for later. Coleslaw can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
