Plus, it’s relatively simple to whip up, making it ideal for a weekday dinner or a weekend lunch. So, let’s get started!

When Thomas was born, over 20 years ago, I was a vegetarian. That meant sandwiches were kind of blah. There are only so many cheese sandwiches you can eat, and I wasn’t as creative back then.

Then a friend introduced me to a fried “pumpkin” sandwich. It was heavenly, and of course, I put my own spin on it with farm-fresh ingredients.

The Butternut Squash Grinder Easily Adapted

You can experiment with a variety of breads, such as whole wheat, rye, or sourdough, to add an extra depth of flavor to your sandwich. You can even skip the sandwich and make it a beautiful platter to share (or not). I love the arugula, but you can substitute basil or spinach if you like..

I’m not including measurements because you can make as many or as few butternut squash grinders as you like. The peppers will keep in the fridge for several days. The squash and peppers can both be frozen once cooked.

Congratulations! You’ve just created a flavorful masterpiece in the form of a Butternut Squash Grinder with Roasted Peppers. It’s a unique, vegetarian-friendly twist on a classic sandwich, packing plenty of flavor and nutrition into every bite.

The hearty butternut squash is loaded with fiber, vitamin A, and potassium, making it a fantastic choice to keep you full till your next meal. The beautiful blend of spices and the delicate sweetness of the squash come together to create a taste explosion that’ll have your taste buds thanking you.

This flexible recipe can be easily adapted based on what you have in your pantry. So don’t be afraid to experiment and make it your own! Happy cooking!
