Cheesy Butternut Squash Slices
These little sweet and salty rounds will become your new addiction.
I am not lying when I tell you I ate them all by myself. Once you start you just can’t stop. And its definitely all thanks to that saltiness of the feta combined with the sweetness of the vegetable. DO NOT skip the hot honey and if you don’t have hot honey, that’s okay. Just use regular honey and sprinkle with some chili pepper flakes.
If you love this dish, you will definitely want to try my No Pasta Butternut Squash Lasagna or my Cheesy Butternut Squash Fritters or my Sweet Potato Nachos.

How can I make it savory and skip the honey? Best options/guesses.
Hi Dan, i recommend simply omitting the honey. Everything left untouched, this is a beautifully savory recipe!
This is great! I love anything with cheese ! I enjoyed this so much and will be making this again with my boyfriend 🙂
Absolutely amazing!! I can eat a whole squash by myself. Love these!!! Thank you so much!
These were delicious… So far, almost all your recipes I’ve tried were great (except for the yoghurt bread, something went wrong there). I can’t wait to try more! Thank you for sharing… 🙏🏻
These squash bites are ridiculously good!!! Love them!
Hi Chris, glad they were enjoyed and thanks so much for the rating!
I made these last night for my family and we absolutely loved it . Plus we ate a few pieces cold right from the refrigerator today . I used some fresh parm cheese instead of mozzarella. Thank you so much Stella . We loved it !!!!!!!!!
Hi Lydia, glad everyone enjoyed them! Thanks so much for the review and feedback!
This is my new favorite way to eat butternut squash! I used raw almond flour cheese, dried basil, onion powder, garlic powder and chives along with the salt and olive oil. So yummy! Thank you!
Hi Kim, Sounds awesome with your add ins! Thanks for tryin it and the kind review!
Really tasty. I may skip the hot honey next time to see how they are with no added sugar. Are these supposed to be crispy? I may have cut mine too thick. Still delicious! Thank you for this deliciousness!
Hi Joanne, so glad you tried them and liked them! Thank you!
It depends on how thin you slice them and how long you bake them.
These are delicious! I’m a 75-year-old grandmother. My father was a Greek immigrant and restaurant owner from Cyprus. I thought my days of collecting recipes were over— until I found your website, Stella! Your Baked Egg Zucchini Tortillas, zucchini corn fritters, cauliflower steaks and more are on rotation in my house. Thank you for your creative, easy, nutritious and yummy recipes!
Hi Olivia, My father was the same – Greek immigrant restaurant owner! So happy you find my website enjoyable! Thank you so much for trying the dishes out!
How do you reheat them? Also, could they be made ahead of time, freeze, then reheat?
Tried it w sweet potato and it was delish!! I took it to a function and it was a big hit – thank you!
Hi Nancy, sounds amazing – glad they were enjoyed by all!
