[Thailand Recipes] Roasted Butternut Squash with Thai Sriracha Sea Salt

It’s about that time now when pumpkins and squashes start winning the battle. The country can’t keep up. We can’t make pumpkin pies, pumpkin soups, and pumpkin breads fast enough to prevent them from outnumbering us. We’re tripping over pumpkins of all sizes, and squashes of all shapes, at apple orchards, in grocery stores, and in our case, right as we enter the building into our store…

We’re left with little choice as we near Halloween. We either take our carving knives and slice them with an artistic touch into jack-o'-lanterns, or simply chop them to pieces, roast them good, and gobble them up! 

With one too many butternut squash taking up space on our kitchen counter this week, we’ve been chopping & roasting them with a sinister delight. Coating each piece with olive oil, sweet honey, and just a little Worcestershire sauce. Then adding a savory note by interspersing the golden pieces with crushed garlic cloves. And finally, sprinkling our Thai Sriracha Sea Salt to give this delicious side dish – or weekend snack – a salty tinge of spiciness.
