50 min; serves 4 

Ingredients: 

• 1halved butternut squash
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp coconut oil (for the squash seeds - YES, SAVE THEM!)
• fresh herbs (we used rosemary & oregano)
• 1/2 sliced red onion
• 2 tbsp goat cheese crumbles
• 1 tsp of Allie Vous Thai Ginger sea salt blend
• pepper
• Garnish - save some of the fresh herbs

Recipe:

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Cut squash in half lengthwise
3. Scoop out the seeds and save them for roasting
4. Use a fork to poke a few little holes in the top (this will allow the seasonings to seep in a bit for extra flavor - also might speed up the cooking process) 
5. Transfer squash flat-side up onto a baking sheet and brush with olive oil.
6. Scatter the sliced onions on top
7. Sprinkle with, sea salt (we used AV Thai Ginger blend - but our Classic Sea Salt & Roasted Garlic would be delicious too!), fresh herbs, and pepper.
8. Roast in oven for approx. 45 min or until the squash it tender to touch with a fork.
9. In the meantime, roast the seeds.
10. Add the coconut oil, cleaned seeds, and a little sea salt (we used AV Classic Sea Salt blend) to a pan on medium/low heat. 
11. Stir gently until they start to slightly brown. 
12. Remove squash from the oven just enough to sprinkle the seeds and then goat cheese on top -- in that order. 
13. Place back in the oven for 5 min (or until cheese starts to melt)
14. Remove from oven, let cool slightly. 
15. Garnish with a few fresh herbs and enjoy!
