Today, I’m excited to share a unique Fall recipe that combines some unexpected flavors and textures to create a delightful dish that is perfect for the season. This recipe is a twist on a classic comfort food that will surely impress your taste buds.

For this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

To prepare this dish, start by preheating your oven to 200°C. Place the butternut squash cubes on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized.

In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Drizzle this mixture over the roasted butternut squash. Add the pomegranate seeds, chopped pecans, and crumbled goat cheese on top. Give everything a gentle toss to combine all the flavors.

Serve this dish warm as a side dish or light lunch. The combination of sweet maple syrup, tangy goat cheese, crunchy pecans, and juicy pomegranate seeds creates a unique and delicious flavor profile that is perfect for Fall.
