Caramelized Maple Butternut Squash and Prosciutto Crostini’s

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.To prepare butternut squash, peel skin and remove seeds from interior. Dice into ½ inch cubes.Put squash onto pregreased, foil lined baking pan. Spray with olive oil spray and season with salt and pepper. Put into oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until soft and slightly charred.Meanwhile, take baguette slices and spray with olive oil.
2. 2
   Place on foil lined baking dish and place in oven to crisp up. Once crisp on one side, flip and crisp on other. Keep an eye on them so they do not burn! They go quick!
3. 3
   Lay prosciutto on foil lined baking dish; (I used the same pan when the bread was done) and place in oven to crisp up, 5 minuets about.In a blender, add cheese, cooked butternut squash and maple syrup. Puree and let blend for a few minutes to create a whipped texture. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. (Seasoning needed will depend on how heavily you seasoned the butternut squash.) To assemble, spread each crostini with the whipped butternut squash, then lay prosciutto crisp on top.
