If you're looking to go beyond your usual winter-squash soup or roasted vegetable recipes, try this butternut-squash hummus. Smoky, sweet and filling, the hummus is also loaded with fiber, protein, healthy fats and beta-carotene.

1. Preheat oven to 400.

2. Toss butternut squash with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the paprika, oregano, honey, salt and pepper in a bowl.

3. Arrange squash on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

4. Combine squash with remaining ingredients and puree in a food processor. Add water to thin to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
