Hot honey is a condiment that originated in the South. It’s made of honey and chile peppers. If you make your own, the honey and chiles are heated in a sauce pan just until they simmer. Then you turn off the heat and let the heat from the chiles infuse into the honey.
The chiles can be strained out after about 10 minutes or you can leave them in. This spicy condiment is delicious drizzled over roasted vegetables, warm biscuits or cornbread, fried chicken, ice cream, or a dip for your pizza crust.
Hot Honey Roasted Butternut Squash
Ingredients
- Butternut squash
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Honey
- Jalapeño
- Pepitas
Instructions
- Start by tossing the cubes of butternut squash in olive oil salt and pepper. Roast them until they’re fork tender, which usually takes about 20 minutes depending on the size of the cubes.
- While the squash is roasting make the hot honey. Thinly slice a jalapeño into rounds and place them in a small saucepan. Don’t remove the seeds and vein since this is where a lot of the heat is.
- Add the honey to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Stir everything a couple times and remove it from the heat. Let the honey sit for 10 minutes so it becomes infused with the jalapeño spice and flavor.
- Strain the jalapeño from the honey into a jar. If you prefer to leave the slices of jalapeño in with the honey you can do that as well.
- Once the squash has finished roasting, add it to a serving bowl. Drizzle the warm squash with the hot honey and sprinkle toasted pepitas over the top. Serve immediately.
