Roasted Butternut Squash and Sage Dip

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season and roast the squash:
    • In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, fresh sage, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
    • Add the butternut squash cubes and toss to coat evenly.
    • Spread the squash on a large baking sheet in a single layer, then bake for 30 minutes or until tender. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  3. Sauté the aromatics:
    • While the squash roasts, heat a little extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onion, anchovy fillets, and garlic, and sauté until the onion is tender and golden. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  4. Blend the dip:
    • In a food processor, combine the roasted butternut squash, onion mixture, and ¼ cup of crumbled goat cheese.
    • Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Serve:
    • Transfer the dip to a decorative bowl and serve with pita wedges, breadsticks, or assorted veggies.
