ROAST SQUASH WITH ZA'ATAR

Roast squash with Za'atar

& seasoned yoghurt

Looking for accompaniments to the perfect roast or an Autumn inspired side, we came across this recipe for roast squash from Simple Fare’s Fall/ Winter edition. We followed it to the T, and can confirm it really delivers when you’re wanting that comforting, warm, sweet savoury something from a dish.
The maple almost candied the charred edges, and the flesh holds up just a little, before giving in to softness. The zesty za’atar, yogurt and lime cut through what might be quite a rich combination nicely.
