Roasted Squash with Apple Salsa

Ingredients

  • 2 (or more) acorn or delicata squash, seeds and guts removed, sliced ½″ thick
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Honey, for drizzling
  • Sea salt and fresh black pepper
  • 2 cups diced apple (about 1 large apple)
  • ½ cup scallions, chopped
  • ¼ cup corn kernels (I used frozen)
  • ½ jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Honey, for drizzling
  • Sea salt and fresh black pepper

Instructions

  1. Toss the squash slices with the olive oil, honey, salt and pepper. Roast in a 400 degree oven for 30-40 minutes, until slices are golden brown and the skin has become tender.
  2. Meanwhile, make the salsa: In a medium bowl, mix the apple, scallions, corn, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, a drizzle of honey, and pinches of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings and refrigerate for 30 minutes for the flavors to develop. Serve over the roasted squash slices.
