Butternut Parmesan Bites

These little bread rolls are three main ingredients - flour, grated parmesan, and butternut squash. Boom, that’s it. This is such a fun dough to work with and you can pretty much shape it however you want - plus the sweet from the squash and the salty from the parm is just *chef's kiss*

Servings: 16 bites

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour packed, about 130g
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup roasted squash or honey nut squash, roasted and mashed until smooth
  • 1 tsp rosemary, thyme and red pepper flakes, optional
  • ½ cup grated parmesan, for the dough
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan, for topping
  • Egg wash, optional

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400F.
  2. Mash up your squash very well until it is smooth, almost the texture of creamy mashed potatoes. Feel free to add a tablespoon of water to help the process. You can also use a blender or food processor for this.
  3. Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and spices, then add the squash. Use your hands to form a rough dough. Pour in ½ cup of the parmesan cheese and fold it into a dough.
  4. Cover and let this dough rest for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Lightly pat down the dough until it is 1’ thick, then cut into 16 small square pieces.
  6. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet, top with egg wash and dip them in the remaining ¼ cup of parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm!
