Roasted Butternut Squash Galette

A delicious combination of sweet and savory, this Roasted Butternut Squash Galette is the perfect appetizer or side this for your Rosh Hashana, Thanksgiving or Holiday table!

Everyone has their Holiday favorites. For us, it is hard to choose a favorite, because we can honestly say that everything our mom cooked over the Holidays, especially Rosh Hashanah, was our favorite ( roasted head of lamb excluded, of course).
Her Carrot and Raisin Rosh Hashanah Rice, with the perfect balance of sweet and savory, has been a staple at our table for years. Last year we switched it up a bit by creating a beautiful Sephardic Jeweled Rice that balances aromatic spices with the sweetness we all look for in a Rosh Hashanah recipe.

Over the years we’ve included some of our Sephardic dishes in our dinners, but since pretty much everyone at our table grew up in an Ashkenazi household, some of their traditional Holiday staples need to remain. We, however, still try to sneak in a little twist here and there every year, just to switch things up a little bit and keep it interesting.

Nana’s matzah ball soup is always present. That’s something we would never, ever try to change. The traditional kugel however… Is definitely getting a makeover this year.

So long potatoes and noodles. Hello hearty roasted veggies!

This rustic yet elegant galette is a delicious addition to the Rosh Hashana table. Roasted butternut squash, carrots, onions and apples wrapped in a flavorful and rich olive oil pastry dough. Hearty and slightly sweet, drizzled with a tangy lemon and date syrup glaze.

Something new to try this year if you’re feeling adventurous!
