BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SHALLOT AND COCONUT MILK SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and scallion whites and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the potato, ginger, cayenne, bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add the butternut squash and simmer until the potatoes and squash are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, discard the bay leaf and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
• Stir in the coconut milk and reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency with water and seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
• Serve hot sprinkled with chopped cilantro and scallion greens and a drizzle of coconut milk if using.

AIR FRYER BUTTERNUT SQUASH, FENNEL AND SHALLOT SALAD

Steps:

• Add 3 tablespoons of the maple syrup and the red wine vinegar to a small saucepan over medium-low heat and stir to combine. Add the 2 teaspoons tarragon and the rosemary and stir. Simmer until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Preheat an air fryer to 385 degrees F. Add the butternut squash, shallots, fennel, garlic, olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the Dijon and a generous sprinkle each of salt and pepper to a large bowl and toss to combine. Put the vegetables in an even layer in the air fryer basket and cook until the squash and the shallots start to char around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. You can do this in batches if you have a smaller air fryer or want crispier edges.
• While the vegetables air fry, strain the maple vinegar through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons Dijon and stir or whisk to combine. Thin out with water and season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
• Transfer the vegetables to a large heatproof bowl and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon maple syrup and 1 tablespoon tarragon.
• Dress the spinach spring mix with the vinaigrette and divide among serving bowls. Top with the vegetables, then garnish with fennel fronds and crushed peanuts.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Square off ends and cut squash in two, just above bulbous part. Stand sections on flat ends and use sharp knife (or vegetable peeler) to remove outer peel, slicing from top to bottom. Cut rounded end in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Cut squash into uniform 3/4 inch cubes so they'll cook evenly.
• Position rack in center of oven and heat to 450°F.
• In a bowl combine squash and shallots and toss to mix.
• In a small bowl combine olive oil, rosemary, salt, brown sugar and pepper. Mix well.
• Pour oil mixture over squash in bowl and toss well to coat all.
• Put squash mixture onto heavy duty rimmed baking sheet. Distribute vegetables evenly on baking sheet.
• Roast for 20 minutes. Stir, then continue roasting until vegetables are tender and lightly browned, 10-15 minutes more.
• Serves four.
