Roasted Honey Glazed Butternut Squash and Pomegranate Salsa

Posted on by Scott D.

This recipe deliciously blends the caramelized flavors of butternut squash, the indulgent sweetness of honey, and the invigorating freshness of pomegranate. The honey-glazed squash with the pomegranate salsa harmonizes the roasted vegetables’ warmth, the fruits’ vivacity, and the subtle heat introduced by the jalapeño. The green apple tartness balances the sweet lightness and flavors, giving it complexity and depth. Enjoy this recipe fresh from our Dining Hall team.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Butternut Squash, halved
