Notes
- If you are preparing this recipe as GLUTEN-FREE, I'd sub feta cheese for the blue cheese unless you're sure that your blue cheese is gluten-free. Be sure to use a brand of Dijon mustard that is know to be GF too.
- To roast the squash: Preheat the oven to 400℉. Cut, seed and peel your butternut squash. Carefully cut the squash crosswise into ¾-inch slices, and then cut those slices into cubes. Lightly coat the squash with olive oil and a big pinch of salt. Spread squash evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, then turn cubes over and roast or an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until tender.
