Butternut Squash and Sage Filo Pie
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash, peeled, deseeded, and cut into small cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 sheets of filo pastry
- 3 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash cubes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Set aside to cool.
- In a skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and chopped sage, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Once the roasted butternut squash and onion mixture have cooled, combine them in a bowl and mix well. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) again.
- Lay one sheet of filo pastry on a clean, flat surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Repeat with the remaining 5 sheets, stacking them on top of each other.
- Place the butternut squash and sage mixture in the center of the filo pastry stack, leaving a border around the edges. Gently fold the edges over the filling, creating a rustic, free-form pie.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with more melted butter.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filo pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
