It\u2019s fall, and you know what that means: warm sweaters and thick, fuzzy socks and well\u2026 everything pumpkin! And roasted butternut squash is definitely one of my favorite cold-weather comfort foods, just like apple pie is for others. Yep, I\u2019ve been a member of the winter squash and pumpkin fan club for quite some time! I love using it in simple dishes that really show off its incredible, sweet flavour, like this simple roasted hokkaido pumpkin with almonds, feta and lemon recipe. The combination is simply DELISH!<\/p>\n

Hokkaido pumpkin is full of good-for-you nutrients<\/h2>\n

Plus this recipe is full of lots of good-for-you vitamins! Hokkaido winter squash is a rich source of antioxidants and vitamin C, which means it is great at fighting ace-ecelerating free-radicals as well as for helping to build clear beautiful skin. Plus it is loaded with fiber, which aids in digestion, while also keeping you full for longer.<\/p>\n

Roasting vegetables with avocado oil \u2014 the new kid on the block!<\/h2>\n

Oils, oils, oils. When it comes to cooking oils, there are oh so many to choose from. Yes, we all know and love olive oil, but it\u2019s definitely not the only one you should be using. Like olive oil, avocado oil is high in monounsaturated fat (plus vitamin E, which is beneficial for your immune system especially as we enter cold season) and can be used as a replacement for olive oil in almost anything. Plus it has a high smoke point, which makes it great for frying, saut\u00e9ing, and grilling.<\/p>\n

When compared to coconut oil, it is also loved by the clean-eating community and surrounded by that same health food halo, but consider it better thanks to it\u2019s neutral flavor. Plus it\u2019s not chemically processed like canola and vegetable oil. Of course, it\u2019s a bit more expensive than those more processed oils, but if you\u2019re interested in avoiding refined foods, want a higher smoke point, and don\u2019t mind the splurge, then this is a great alternative.<\/p>\n

Winter squash makes a good vegetarian side dish<\/h2>\n

Winter squash becomes tender and sweeter when roasted making it a delicious side for a holiday dinner. You can pair this with a traditional Christmas dinner or serve this as part of a vegetarian menu. I love the combination of ingredients here and it is so easily adaptable. You do not absolutely need to use butternut squash for this dish to work. You can use this exact same technique with basically any kind of winter squash.<\/p>\n
