Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sheet of store-bought puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup caramelized onions
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh sage leaves
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss 4 cups of butternut squash cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned butternut squash cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized. Set aside to cool.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the pastry to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Spread 1/2 cup of caramelized onions over the center of the pastry, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the caramelized onions, then arrange the roasted butternut squash cubes on top.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped fresh sage leaves over the butternut squash.
- Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, pleating as needed. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg.
- Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the galette to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
