Spiced Butternut Squash Soup w/ Za’atar Pita chips

Step 1
First, preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

Next, cut a butternut squash in half long ways. Scoop out the seeds and place on pan. Drizzle with olive oil to coat and season with salt and pepper. Roast squash for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, remove squash from the oven and add onion, jalapeño or serrano, shallot, and garlic to the same pan.

Step 4
Drizzle veggies with a bit more olive oil and then bake for another 30 minutes. Remove pan from oven and set aside.

Once the squash is slightly cool, scoop out the flesh and discard the rind. Place squash it in a large soup pot, along with all of the other roasted ingredients from the baking sheet. Next, add broth, coconut milk, all of the dried spices and salt & pepper (seasoned to taste). Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
