Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- While you wait for the water to boil, peel and chop up the squash.
- Add the squash to the boiling water, and boil until the squash is tender but still a little firm (5 minutes or so.)
- Lay the almonds flat on a baking sheet and place in the oven, until they are lightly toasted (2-3 minutes.) Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat, and stir in the honey, diced ginger and a squeeze of fresh orange juice.
- Add the squash into the butter mixture and stir until it is evenly coated in the glaze.
- Continue cooking the squash until it is fork tender and the outside is caramelized and golden (about 5 minutes.)
- While the squash cooks away, mix 2 Tbsps fresh orange juice, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp honey, 2 tsps apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Once the squash is finished, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
- Add in the diced red onion, toasted almonds, feta cheese and diced basil.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the squash and gently toss.
- Devour immediately!
