It’s no secret that I love butternut squash. It’s earthy, just a little sweet, and I believe that roasting brings out it’s very best qualities. It also pairs well with crunchy buttery nuts and soft cheeses. Butternut squash and ricotta is a pretty classic pairing, but the whole flavor really sings with chopped pistachios, a little drizzle of pistachio oil, and local honey. If pistachio oil can’t be found, a high quality extra virgin olive oil makes a beautiful substitute. This crostini has been a real crowd-pleaser at various get-togethers. It’s eye-catching beauty alone makes it worthy of an appearance at your next party. I hope you enjoy!
