1 2-pound butternut squash, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons
3 tablespoons harissa paste
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, sliced
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
Torn fresh mint, for topping

Tips:

  • To easily remove the seeds from the butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop them out with a spoon.
  • You can use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the butternut squash, but it is not necessary.
  • If you don't have a roasting pan, you can use a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • For a crispier squash, roast it at a higher temperature for a shorter amount of time.
  • Be careful not to overcook the squash, or it will become mushy.
  • To make the honey glaze, simply whisk together honey, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Brush the honey glaze over the butternut squash before roasting it.
  • If you want a sweeter glaze, you can add more honey or maple syrup.
  • For a spicier glaze, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
