Though technically a “winter squash,” butternut squash is harvested in early fall, heralding the arrival of cool- weather cooking and the rich, hearty flavors that accompany such pursuits. But if you’re pressed for prep time, or just want to get cooking off your to-do list, you can still conjure the coziness of the season and satisfy your squashy desires with the help of Trader Joe’s Butternut Squash and Caramelized Onion Tart.

Like many good things, the base of this circular Tart starts with a flaky, buttery dough. Nestled inside is a creamy, cheesy filling commingled with savory Caramelized Onions that have been seasoned with fragrant sage and a touch of cayenne pepper. The edges of the dough are folded and pleated inward over the filling, leaving the center exposed to highlight the gem-like cubes of earthy Butternut Squash dotted throughout, and then the whole thng is baked to create a golden-brown crust. This rustic, freeform composition gives the Tart a homey, made-from-scratch vibe, but the only work required of you is overseeing a short stint in the oven to reheat and crisp up the crust. Measuring about seven inches in diameter, this Butternut Squash and Caramelized Onion Tart serves four guests (or two hungry ones), and when sliced and served, it’s as at home on a dinner plate with a green salad as it is on a brunch buffet or appetizer platter.
