Roasted Butternut Squash Bruschetta

Top-down view of butternut squash bruschetta with dairy-free cheese on toasted baguette slices.

This isn’t the kind of bruschetta you’ve seen a hundred times. Sweet roasted squash sits on toasted bread spread with dairy-free goat-style cheese, with a drizzle of balsamic and maybe a sprinkle of herbs. It’s simple, unique, and easy to pass around.

Ingredients

  • 1 small butternut squash (about 2 cups diced), peeled and cut into small cubes

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

  • 4 oz dairy-free goat-style cheese or vegan cashew cheese, softened

  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

  • Optional garnish: fresh thyme or rosemary

  • Optional: balsamic glaze for drizzling

  • Spread each toasted slice with the dairy-free cheese. Top with a spoonful of roasted squash and a sprinkle of herbs, if desired.
