20. Black Bean Dip with Roasted Squash Recipe with Garlic, Pumpkin Seeds & Chipotles
This luscious black bean concoction, enhanced with roasted squash, garlic, crisped pumpkin seeds, and smoky chipotles, is a distinctive yet universally loved starter. Comprising merely 10 primary ingredients, it’s naturally vegan and devoid of nuts. It’s the ideal companion for tortilla chips, assorted fresh veggies, or even as a sandwich filling.
On a recent visit to one of my cherished local spots, I stumbled upon an array of charmingly small honeynut squashes. We’re quite fond of this squash variant, and its size is just apt for our preference. The thought of a spicy, smoky black bean blend intertwined with the mellow sweetness and velvety texture of roasted squash crossed my mind. And what better side than a heap of tortilla chips to savor it with!
19. Roasted Vegan Butternut Squash Soup with Apples & Pecans
The rich and velvety butternut squash soup, accentuated with apples and pecans, achieves its creaminess sans coconut milk. A leisurely 45-minute roast ensures the squash, apples, and onions soften, and when paired with crunchy pecans and hints of ginger and chili, they culminate in a sumptuous blend. In this rendition of a vegan butternut squash soup, the absence of coconut milk doesn’t hinder its creamy allure. As toasted pecans amalgamate with a veggie broth and a trio of roasted butternut, apples, and onions, the outcome is a velvety, flavor-packed delight. Let the oven shoulder the effort; your task is to merge the ingredients into a seamless blend. Elevating this vegan concoction are zesty elements like ginger, garlic, chili hints, apple cider vinegar, and Tamari, which harmoniously marry the squash’s gentle sweetness. It’s astounding how a curated set of around 10 ingredients can craft such an opulent soup experience.
18. Vegan Butternut Squash Risotto
Its preparation is straightforward, yet its presentation and flavor exude sophistication. It’s my go-to dish for gatherings, given that guests can mingle while I’m at the stove.
The challenge with risotto lies in its demand for dedication during cooking. It may not be the top pick for hectic evenings. However, the silver lining is its undemanding method, even if it’s hands-on. Notably, even my least successful risotto attempts have been delectably satisfying.
17. Gingery Roasted Butternut Squash Rice
This zesty butternut squash-infused rice, accentuated with onions and peas, strikes a harmonious balance between savory and sugary tones. It emerges as an ideal accompaniment during the autumn season and is uncomplicated to whip up.
Butternut squash has always been a cherished ingredient for me. While it’s a staple throughout the year, its prominence in my dishes amplifies during autumn. It seamlessly integrates into dishes like VEGAN RISOTTO, BROTH, SPICY STEW, FLATBREADS, and even SNACK PLATTERS.
My affection for winter gourds is such that it often takes center stage, overshadowing other components. However, this spiced butternut rice ensemble boasts a plethora of flavors. The vibrant green peas offer a sweet contrast, while onions infuse a delectable depth. Moreover, the apple, roasted alongside the squash, complements it wonderfully. The APPLE-SQUASH DUO is truly an ESSENTIAL FALL COMBO, showcased beautifully in this preparation.
16. Vegan Butternut Squash Curry with Spinach
If you end up with extra servings, the flavors deepen and improve by the next day!
Butternut squash tops my list of favored winter gourds due to its adaptability. Whether it’s soups, salads, stir-fried rice, baked treats, or even creamy pasta dishes, it fits right in. Plus, it’s less challenging to prep than some of its hard-skinned counterparts. A simple end trim and a glide of a vegetable peeler do the job. And if you’re roasting them in their entirety, there’s no need to bother with peeling.
