1medium butternut squash - peeled, seeded and diced
1tbspolive oil
¼cupprepared tahini sauce - like Trader Joe’s version
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
1tbspwater
1tbspzaatar seasoning
Salt to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, toss butternut squash with the olive oil to coat evenly. Place squash onto a baking sheet and season with salt. Cook in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until squash is tender and lightly browned.
In a small bowl, mix together the tahini sauce, lemon juice, and water. (This step is done only to thin out the consistency of the tahini sauce. I use Trader Joe’s Tahini Sauce, which is quite thick. If the sauce you use is already thin, then this step can be skipped.)
Place squash in a serving bowl, and drizzle with tahini sauce. Then sprinkle the za’atar seasoning over top.
