Roasted Butternut Squash with Chickpeas, Herbs and Tahini

This colorful vegetarian dish, inspired by a recipe in “The Lebanese Kitchen” by Salma Hage, matches the sweetness of roasted butternut squash and shallots with a tangy, nutty lemon-tahini dressing. We toss the squash and shallots with tahini and oil before roasting—this helps the vegetables caramelize while deepening the sesame flavor of the tahini. A handful of toasted pumpkin seeds adds color and crunch.
Tip
Don’t forget to cover the baking sheet with foil for the first 15 minutes of roasting. The foil seals in heat and helps the squash cook more quickly.
