This Bang Bang Butternut Squash recipe is a spicy, sweet, and creamy twist on roasted squash. The crispy roasted butternut squash is tossed in a homemade bang bang sauce made with mayo, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha for a flavorful side or snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 (2-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the butternut squash in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Spread the squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until tender and lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha to make the bang bang sauce.
  5. Transfer the roasted squash to a large bowl. Drizzle with the bang bang sauce and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of sriracha for desired spice level.
  • Can be served as a side dish or appetizer.
