Ingredients
2–3 honey nut squash (about 2 lbs), peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch pieces
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
salt
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1 onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 pie dough (chilled – I used this recipe )
1 cup ricotta or goat cheese
2 tablespoons cream or 1 egg
2 tablespoons parmesan (optional)
fresh mint
Instructions
Make the squash:
-
Preheat the oven to 425. On a parchment lined baking sheet toss the squash with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and chili flakes. Roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside. Lower the heat to 400.
Make the onions:
-
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring often until starting to brown, about 20-25 minutes. Add the apple cider vinegar and maple and continue cooking for another 20 minutes, until caramelized and jammy. Gently combine with the squash.
-
In a small bowl, whip the ricotta with a pinch of salt.
To assemble the galette:
-
Sprinkle a work surface with flour. Roll out your pie crust into a 12-inch circle. Place dough onto prepared baking tray. Spread the ricotta inthte center leaving a 2-3 inch boarder.
-
Pile the squash filling on top. Fold the edges, overlapping the squash mixture as you go. Brush the galette with cream or whisked egg and sprinkle with parmesan.
-
Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the crust is flaky and golden. Sprinkle with flaky salt and fresh mint. Serve warm or at room temp.
