Sweet and Spicy butternut squash

I love butternut squash and was looking for a way to change it up.  I also had feta cheese on hand and this is the recipe I found.  This is powerful good.  I didn't have the fancy asian pepper sauce, I used good ol' Cholula.  It probably didn't have as much kick as it would have.  I will have to try it with the fully loaded pepper sauce next time.


Ingredients
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon hot chili sauce (suggested: Sriracha)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • basil leaves
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Toss squash with olive oil, maple syrup, chili sauce and salt.
  3. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, give the squash a stir then bake for another 20-25 minutes until the squash is tender and caramelized.
  4. Top squash with feta cheese and basil leaves.
