Butternut Squash Bruschetta
Ingredients
- 1 Baguette, cut into pieces with 1/4 inch width
- 2 Tbsp. + 4 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Butternut Squash, cubed (about 1.5 Lbs.)
- 3 Cloves Garlic, peeled
- 1 tsp. Ground Sage
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
- 3/4 C. Crystal Farms Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Spread diced butternut squash and garlic cloves onto a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. Olive oil. Top with salt, pepper, and ground sage. Toss to coat. Bake for 45 minutes, or until squash is fork tender. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
- Lower the oven temperature to 375F.
- Arrange bread slices on a prepared baking sheet, and brush with olive oil. Bake for 3-5 minutes, flip, and bake 3-5 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, transfer all the contents of the butternut squash pan into a large bowl. Use an immersion blender or a food processor to blend and combine all the ingredients. Blend carefully, as contents will be hot. (The ingredients should be soft enough that you can even mix with a spoon, gently “mashing” the mixture)
- Using a butter knife or spatula, spread the butternut squash mixture onto each toasted piece of bread and place back on baking sheet.
- Top each bruschetta with 2-3 tsp.. parmesan cheese.
- Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and bubbling. Allow to cool and top with fresh chopped sage leaves, if desired.
