While technically a winter fruit, antioxidant-rich butternut squash is available year around either fresh from the farm or frozen. Embracing spring’s yellow blossoms, summer’s golden sun, autumn’s amber hues & winter’s hearty recipes – this flavorful, crustless tart is perfect any season as a savory breakfast or light dinner alongside fresh greens tossed in a snappy vinaigrette.
