Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized Butternut squash
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (finely chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler to high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Peel the butternut squash and cut it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds, then slice the squash into thin half-moons about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the squash slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and broil for 8-10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized on the edges.

Step 5

While the squash is broiling, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated garlic (use a microplane or finely mince), lemon juice, fresh dill, paprika, and honey. Mix well until smooth and evenly combined. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 6

Once the squash is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 7

To serve, spread a generous layer of the yogurt sauce on a serving platter or individual plates. Arrange the broiled squash slices on top, then drizzle with a bit more yogurt sauce if desired. Garnish with additional fresh dill or a sprinkle of paprika for extra color and flavor.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy the warm squash with the cool, tangy yogurt sauce.
