Curry-Roasted Butternut Squash and Chick Peas
From Food and Wine Magazine This Indian twist on the traditional Thanksgiving dish of roasted butternut squash is supereasy: After tossing the squash and chickpeas with curry and cayenne, Melissa roasts them, then drizzles the dish with a cooling cilantro-spiked yogurt sauce.
2 large butternut squash (5½ pounds)—peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch dice
One 19-ounce can chickpeas— drained, rinsed and dried
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
¾ cup finely chopped cilantro
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1. Preheat the oven to 375°. In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash with the chickpeas, olive oil, curry and cayenne and season with salt and pepper. Spread the squash cubes on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast for 1 hour, or until tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir the yogurt with the cilantro and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
3. Spoon the roasted butternut squash and chickpeas onto a platter and drizzle with ½ cup of the yogurt sauce. Serve the remaining yogurt sauce on the side.
