Directions

Ricotta & Roasted Butternut Squash Crostini

8 Steps

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lay the baguette slices on a baking sheet and drizzle each with a little olive oil. Toast until they are golden brown for about 6 minutes.

  • Step 2

    In a bowl, whisk together the ricotta, heavy cream, lemon juice and zest. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and set aside.

  • Step 3

    In a bowl, toss together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, squash and maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Step 4

    Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until squash is golden and tender, about 30 minutes. Let squash cool.

  • Step 5

    In the meantime, heat up the remaining olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

  • Step 6

    Add the sage leaves and cook until crispy for about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to remove excess oil.

  • Step 7

    Spread the ricotta mixture over the baguette slices. Top with roasted squash and crispy sage.

  • Step 8

    Sprinkle some flaky salt on top and enjoy!
