Za’atar-Roasted Butternut Squash with Toasted Pine Nuts
Oven-roasted butternut squash and sliced red onion seasoned with za’atar, then finished with tahini and pine nuts, is the creation of Milk Street Facebook community member Judie Spero, of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. We added just a couple accent ingredients—yogurt for a touch of acidity and a drizzle of pomegranate molasses for tangy-sweet fruity notes that complement the other deep, earthy flavors.

Tip
Don’t stir the squash and onion mixture more than once during roasting. Infrequent stirring allows the vegetables to caramelize beautifully, which results in richer, more complex flavor.

01Heat the oven to 500°F with a rack in the lowest position. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash and onion with the oil, 1 tablespoon za’atar, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Distribute in an even layer, then roast, flipping once about halfway through with a metal spatula, until well browned and a skewer inserted into the largest piece of squash meets no resistance, 25 to 30 minutes.
