Chef's Tips

For easier peeling, microwave the butternut squash for 2-3 minutes before peeling.

You can add other vegetables like Brussels sprouts or sweet potatoes to this recipe.

Adjust the amount of maple syrup and Dijon mustard to your taste preference.

If using frozen butternut squash or cauliflower, roast for a shorter time.

"A classic British dessert, the apple and blackberry crumble offers a comforting yet not overly sweet ending to the meal. The slight tartness of the blackberries cuts through the richness of the maple-dijon glaze, while the oat topping provides a healthier alternative to traditional crumble toppings, aligning with the light and fresh mood."
