Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Spicy onions:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion, sliced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons honey
Assembly:
1 cup blanched hazelnuts
2 large butternut squash (about 4 pounds), peeled, seeded, sliced 1/4" thick
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • For spicy onions:
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring often, until lightly charred and softened but not falling apart, 5-7 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and toss to combine. Remove pan from heat and mix in lime juice and honey. Let cool, then mix in lime zest.
  • DO AHEAD: Spicy onions can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
  • For assembly:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast hazelnuts on a small rimmed baking sheet, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop.
  • Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Toss squash and 1/4 cup oil in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Divide between 2 rimmed baking sheets; reserve bowl. Roast, undisturbed, until tender, 15-20 minutes.
  • Return squash to bowl; add hazelnuts, parsley, mint, marjoram, and spicy onions, and toss to combine.
  • Transfer squash mixture to a large serving platter, crumble goat cheese over, and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my squash didn't come out roasted. It was more like steamed.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less chili powder next time.

I'm not a big fan of butternut squash, but I really enjoyed this dish. The spicy onions really helped to balance out the sweetness of the squash.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. I had some roasted squash in the fridge and this was the perfect way to turn it into a delicious side dish.

The roasted butternut squash was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the spicy onions were delicious. I think I'll try this recipe again with a different type of squash.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The squash was perfectly roasted and the onions added just the right amount of heat. I'll definitely be making this again.
