This was a delicious new way to roast butternut squash. You can make it pareve by using soy yogurt. This is hearty enough for a vegan or veggie main especially if augmented with another dish or even a soup.

Hot Honey is literally honey with chili flake mixed in for a bit of heat - super easy to make at home but I have added directions.

Roasted Honey Nut Squash and Chickpeas With Hot Honey

Colorful and meatless, sweet and fiery, this sheet-pan dinner is an exuberant combination of cold-weather vegetables and warming spices that will perk up any weeknight. Although the recipe takes about an hour from start to finish most of it is hands-off, and the actual prep time is relatively short. If you don’t have hot honey, you can substitute regular honey and a pinch of cayenne. And try to use canned chickpeas prepared with sea salt; the unsalted kind are bland.


Yield: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

2 (14.5-ounce) cans chickpeas (preferably not “no salt added”), drained and rinsed
2½ pounds honey nut or butternut squash, peeled, trimmed, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes (6 cups)
1¾ teaspoons baharat, garam masala or another spice blend
1¼ teaspoons fine salt, plus more as needed
5 thyme sprigs
⅛ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon cider vinegar or rice wine vinegar, plus more as needed
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves or dill sprigs, or a combination - could also use mint if you like that flavor
1 to 2 tablespoons hot honey, plus more to taste
Plain whole-milk yogurt or sour cream, for serving (optional)

PREPARATION


Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line one sheet pan with parchment paper (I used heavy duty tin foil to line) and a second sheet pan with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Place drained chickpeas on the towel-lined sheet pan and gently rub them dry. Place the pan on the back of the stove and let the chickpeas dry as you prepare the other ingredients.

Place the squash on the parchment paper-lined pan and toss with 1 teaspoon baharat, ½ teaspoon salt, thyme sprigs, red-pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons oil. Spread squash into an even layer and roast for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes of roasting, in a medium bowl, combine chickpeas, red onion, remaining ¾ teaspoon baharat, ¾ teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil, and toss until well combined. Add the mixture to the pan of squash and stir everything well. Continue roasting for another 30 minutes, tossing the mixture halfway through, until the squash is golden brown and tender, and the chickpeas and onions are slightly crispy.

Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle vinegar and herbs on top and toss. Drizzle with hot honey and toss again to combine. Taste and season with more salt, more hot honey and vinegar to taste. Serve with dollops of yogurt if you’d like.

Hot Honey

Ingredients

1 cup honey
2 tablespoons chili flakes
Optional: 2 teaspoons hot sauce or apple cider vinegar (see notes)

Instructions

Add the honey and chili flakes to a small pot or pan over medium heat.

Gently heat the honey until you see small bubbles forming along the edges of the pan then remove the pan from the heat.

Let the honey infuse for 5 minutes. If you're using the hot sauce or vinegar, stir it into the honey now.

Optional: 2 teaspoons hot sauce or apple cider vinegar

Optional step: strain the honey through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean glass jar.
