Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cubed butternut squash
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 ounces goat cheese or feta, crumbled (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and tender.
- While the squash roasts, heat olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 30–40 minutes until golden brown.
- Roll out puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet, score a border around the edge, and prick the center with a fork. Pre-bake for about 10 minutes.
- Spread caramelized onions over the pre-baked pastry. Top with roasted squash and cheese. Bake for another 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
