Butternut Squash and Beet Bruschetta Recipes

I always think that I like summer and spring produce more than I like fall and winter produce, but every time I get to eat butternut squash my mind changes.  In addition there are so many amazing vegetables and fruits that are in season over the colder months.  I decided that for this episode of SOIGNE that I would make some simple appetizers.  These would be great to serve for the holidays and are actually very easy to make.  The first recipe is a Roasted Butternut Squash with Arugula and Mascarpone Cheese Bruschetta while the other is a Roasted Beet and Lemon Goat Cheese Bruschetta.  You can see in the video that I literally used two pans a little bit of prep time to knock these out and wow were they tasty.  You could probably switch it up to by using the squash with the goat cheese and the beets with the mascarpone.  These Butternut Squash and Beet Bruschetta Recipes are just the beginning of all the cool things you could do with winter and fall produce.  In any event, check out the video below, pin a few pictures and make the recipes!  Cheers.
