Absolutely perfect mix of flavors. I ran out of maple syrup so I replaced it with some raw whipped honey and it was....made and gobbled up several times in a week. Also, my oven runs light so it took close to 20 minutes, but that's always to be expected with any recipe. This is also my favorite dressing, been using it for years since I first made your sweet potato/chickpea Buddha bowl (https://minimalistbaker.com/sweet-potato-chickpea-buddha-bowl/).

Made the recipe with roasted Delicata squash & purple sweet potatoes for extra color. Using what I had on hand I subbed in honey for maple syrup, toasted pepitas w a lite sprinkle of curry, & accidentally forgot the parsley. The recipe was still delicious! Actually liked the purple sweet potatoes flavor better w the tahini sauce. Thank you for this recipe. Absolutely a keeper.

Wonderful Thanksgiving side dish. I always find the traditional sides leave something to be desired in terms of seasonal veggies. The green bean casserole, Brussels sprout and sweet potatoes often lack in elegance. This recipe will be going in to regular rotation this season and the dressing will be making regular appearances as well! Absolutely delicious!

Made this last night and it was so delicious! The smell of the delicata squash roasting with coconut oil filled our kitchen with the best aroma! My husband thought I was baking a pie, haha. The flavours came together so well too; sweet, savory, nutty.. I'm excited to make this recipe for my family over Thanksgiving. Thanks so much! :-)

I’m late reviewing this as I made it quite a while ago, but it sticks out in my memory. This was incredibly good and like another reviewer said, so much greater than the sum its parts! I found this recipe after receiving delicate squash in my CSA box and no idea what to do with it. The flavours together were like a symphony and it looked so pretty as well.

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
