Instructions
1. Prepare squash bites
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss butternut squash cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Roast
Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
3. Make hot honey feta drizzle
Warm honey in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring in red pepper flakes.
Stir in crumbled feta and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness with a little water if needed.
4. Assemble
Drizzle hot honey feta sauce over crispy squash bites. Garnish with fresh parsley or mint.
✨ These bites are crispy, sweet, spicy, and creamy all at once — a perfect balance of flavors that will impress everyone.
