Ingredients

• Butternut squash - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Tomato sauce (no added sugar) - 1/2 cup
• Fresh spinach - 100 grams
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Goat cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
• Fresh basil leaves - 10 grams, for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
3. Drizzle the squash halves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
4. Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 25 minutes, or until tender.
5. While the squash is roasting, prepare the toppings by sautéing the fresh spinach in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Once the squash is done, carefully flip them over and spread 1/4 cup of tomato sauce on each half.
7. Top each squash half with the sautéed spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and crumbled goat cheese.
8. Return the topped squash to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted.
9. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve warm.
