Roasted butternut squash and leeks drizzled with orange tahini sauce and finished with toasted walnuts, fresh herbs, and za’atar. This side dish will knock your socks off! 

Roasted Butternut Squash and Leeks with Orange Tahini and Za'atar Walnut Crumble

This Roasted Butternut Squash and Leeks recipe might be one of the best side dishes that I’ve made all year. Don’t be surprised if it disappears before your eyes! We practically inhaled it. 

Drizzled with a creamy orange tahini sauce and topped with buttery toasted walnuts, chopped herbs, and za’atar, it also happens to be one of the prettiest too. In many ways, it reminds me of my roasted cauliflower with tahini recipe

If you’re looking for a gorgeous, flavor-packed side dish to add to your holiday table this season, look no further. This recipe also comes together with minimal effort, which let’s be honest, is the cherry on top.
