Gluten Free Appetizers For All

Directions

1. For butternut squash: microwave for about 8 minutes or until just soft enough for you to peel easily.
2. After peeling and seeding, slice into 1/3 inch round and then cut again to make triangles or the shape of your choice.
3. For sweet potatoes: do not peel and do not microwave, simply slice into 1/2 inch rounds to prepare for baking.
4. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
5. Place prepared squash or potatoes onto a lightly oiled baking sheet.
6. Roast for 30 – 35 minutes until tender.
7. Suggested toppings:
8. ■Black beans and a nice cheese such as sharp cheddar or smoky gouda. *Drain and heat the black beans but allow to cool to luke warm
9. ■Fresh sliced tomato (cherry or grape tomatoes would be delightful!) with water packed tuna.
10. ■Sweet chutney/relish topped with green onion.
11. Don’t worry if you cook the squash too much and it becomes too soft for finger food. Simply put the slices onto little pieces of foil or parchment or even a mini cupcake paper and serve so it can easily be picked up with fingers.
