Ingredients
- 2 3/4 - 3 pounds butternut squash
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 medium onion
- 1 orange bell pepper
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 6 eggs
- fresh thyme, parsley, or microgreens for garnish
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F/200C. Slice the butternut squash in half, rub a little olive oil on the butternut squash and season with salt and pepper.
- Flip the butternut squash over on a baking tray and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the flesh is soft.
- When the butternut squash is about 5 minutes from being done, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and 2 tablespoons of oil to a large pan. Saute for 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic, cumin, thyme, nutmeg, salt and pepper to the pan. Saute for another 1-2 minutes.
- Scoop the flesh from the butternut squash and transfer it to the pan. Then add 2 cups of vegetable broth.
- Use your spatula to break up the chunks of butternut squash and bring this to a simmer.
- Make 6 small wells for the eggs with your spatula, and crack an egg in each well.
- Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the eggs are done to your liking. Garnish with fresh herbs and microgreens before serving.

Notes
- You should get about 3 cups of softened butternut squash from a 3 pound vegetable.
- If you'd like your shakshuka more saucy, feel free to add a splash more broth as well.
