📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the butternut squash cubes on the sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread evenly on the baking sheet. Roast for 30 to ⏱️ 35 minutes, or until tender and browned around the edges.
2
In a small bowl, stir together the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne. Set aside.
3
Make the Cider Date Dressing: In a blender, combine the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, date, garlic, cumin, and 3 tablespoons of the water. Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of water as needed to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
