This is completely customizable and really just a loose template. I’m not putting a ton of detail into the amounts here. I make as much as my ingredients will go and eat it for DAYS. You can see the individual amounts I assembled in the photo. I will say after making this if I lived near a Cava I would definitely just go buy this…. I think the savings come when you spend the time making this for multiple people or when you make enough to plan to eat it for several days.

Have you tried honeynut squash before? Honeynut is a winter squash varietal derived from butternut and buttercup. It’s sweeter and about half the size of the typical butternut squash. The peel is edible which saves a lot of time and work.

This would make an easy side for Thanksgiving! It’s easy enough to spice up a weeknight meal as well!
