Roasted Grape And Butternut Squash Bruschetta Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir pine nuts until toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix squash, grapes, onion, olive oil, salt, pepper, and sage leaves together in a large baking dish to coat squash, onion, and grapes in oil and seasoning.
• Roast in the preheated oven until squash and onion are golden and slightly caramelized, about 50 minutes; sprinkle pine nuts over the dish.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove grapes from stems, rinse under cold water, drain and pat dry. On one sheet pan, toss grapes with grapeseed or other oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and roast for 15 minutes. On another sheet pan, toss butternut squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the allspice, cinnamon, smoked paprika and thyme and roast for 10 minutes, or until just tender. Let cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, heat the port wine in a small saucepan over medium high heat until it is reduced to about 2 tablespoons of syrup. Cool to room temperature or just slightly warm. This may be done ahead and the syrup kept in the refrigerator. Bring back to room temperature or warm slightly before use.
• Roast the pecans for about 3 to 4 minutes or until they become fragrant. Cool slightly and chop.
• Slice 12 pieces from the baguette on the bias, sprinkle with remaining olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill or toast in the oven until golden brown. To assemble the bruschetta, spread each slice with about 2 tablespoons of chevre or a slice of a Camembert-style cheese and sprinkle with pecans. Then add a nice mix of squash and grapes. Using a small spoon, drizzle each piece with a thin ribbon of the port syrup.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Peel, halve and seed squash; cut into 3x1/2-in. strips. Spread in a greased foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan; toss with oil. Roast until tender and lightly browned, 25-30 minutes, stirring once., Sprinkle with seasonings. Mix dip ingredients; serve with squash.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the squash, grapes, onions and sage; drizzle in the oil and melted butter.
• Season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat everything well.
