Ingredients

  • 1 french baguette
  • 4 oz. fresh goat cheese
  • 1 small butternut squash approx. 2 pounds
  • 1/4 c. maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 c. whole almonds chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. minced fresh rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 c. dried cranberries chopped

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Poke squash several times with a fork; heat in microwave 5 minutes to soften.
  • While squash is softening, slice baguette diagonally into 1/2 inch slices. Place slices on a large baking pan.
  • Once squash is cool enough to handle, peel and cut into small (1 cm.) cubes.
  • Toss squash with maple syrup to coat; spread in a large rimmed baking pan.
  • Place both baking pans in pre-heated oven.
  • After 8 minutes, remove bread from oven.
  • Stir squash and continue roasting 10 minutes more.
  • Spread goat cheese onto toasted bread, approx. 1/2 tsp. per slice.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a small skillet.
  • Add chopped almonds, minced rosemary, and kosher salt; toast 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine roasted squash with toasted almonds and stir.
  • Top each crostini with a scant 1 Tbsp. of the squash mixture.
  • Sprinkle with dried, chopped cranberries.
