Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium butternut squash
  • 200 g Camembert cheese
  • 50 g walnuts roughly chopped
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • A pinch of chili flakes optional

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the squash – Peel the butternut squash and cut into thick, round slices (about 1–1.5 cm thick).
  • Slice the cheese – Cut the Camembert into medium-thick slices to fit on top of the squash rounds.
  • Assemble – Arrange squash slices on a lined baking tray. Season with salt and pepper. Place Camembert slices on top, sprinkle with walnuts, add chili flakes (if using), drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs.
  • Bake – Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Roast for 20–25 minutes, until squash is tender, cheese is melted, and walnuts are golden.
  • Finish & serve – Remove from oven and drizzle with honey while still warm. Serve immediately as an appetizer, side, or light vegetarian main.

Notes

  • Swap walnuts for pecans, hazelnuts, or almonds.
  • Try thyme or sage instead of rosemary for a different flavor profile.
  • For extra spice, add more chili flakes or a drizzle of chili-infused honey.
