Ingredients

2 1/2 cups cubed butternut squash*
1 tablespoon olive oil plus extra for drizzling
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
2 (4.5 oz.) jars Feta Cheese Simple Seasons (reserve about 2 tablespoons for sprinkling on top, if desired)
1 tablespoon freshly chopped basil
1 tablespoon freshly chopped sage
pita chips/bread, crackers and/or crusty bread for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Toss the squash cubes with the olive oil, garlic salt, pepper and pumpkin pie spice. Spread out on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, then toss and bake for 15 more, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F.
Add the squash to a food processor along with feta cheese. Blend until completely smooth and pureed. Taste and add salt, if needed. Transfer the puree to an oven safe dish. Bake the dip for about 20 minutes, or until it is warmed through. Remove the dip from the oven and stir. Top with a drizzle of oil, basil, sage and a sprinkling of feta cheese. Serve immediately with pita chips/bread, crackers and/or crusty bread.

Notes

*To keep this recipe super easy and quick, I recommend purchasing pre-cubed squash. This product is readily available in most grocery stores and located in the produce department. It may be more expensive, but in my opinion, so worth the extra cost.
