‘Tis the season for festive gatherings in warm homes and bite-sized appetizers paired with a glass of red wine. These elegant butternut squash crostini are topped with creamy ricotta, red wine caramelized onions, roasted butternut squash and a drizzle of honey.
We are just a little (okay, a lot) enamored with these sweet and savory crostini. With just a few seasonal ingredients that can be made ahead, they are perfect for serving to family and friends.
