Ingredients

One 1 1/4-pound butternut squash, sliced 1/3-inch thick

1 red onion, sliced 1/4-inch thick 

2 tablespoons olive oil 

Kosher salt 

One 9-inch refrigerated pie crust, chilled 

Half 5.2-ounce container herbed cheese, such as Boursin

1 tablespoon chopped pistachios

1/2 cup baby arugula 

1 tablespoon pomegranate seeds 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Scatter the squash and onions on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss well to coat evenly.
  3. Roast until the squash is tender all the way through and the onions are soft and turning golden brown, 28 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  4. Unroll the pie crust onto a nonstick baking sheet. Crumble half of the cheese over the crust, leaving a 2-inch border. Top with the roasted onions and then shingle with the squash in circles. Fold the crust borders up and over the filling, crimping every 2 inches or so. Sprinkle the exposed squash with the pistachios and the remaining cheese.
  5. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with the arugula and pomegranate seeds.
  6. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

It was a hit! <br />I also used cranberries as that is what I had. Threw in some grated beet with the arugula to add fibre and colour. I also made it as tarts for a few pot luck gatherings and it presented and tasted so good and had salad on the side. I cooked the squash and onions and then chopped into smaller pieces though. <br />Have made with vegan cheese (Daiya brand) for one event. The Daiya is more liquidy when melted so would maybe suggest cook tart shells first if using it.
