Assembling the dish
Once the squash is roasted and slightly cooled, it’s time for the fun part. Dollop a generous spoonful of creamy goat cheese right into the center of each half—it’ll soften and spread as the squash stays warm. Then drizzle with cranberry sauce. Don’t worry about being too precise—the rustic look is part of the charm. Finally, sprinkle with fresh thyme or parsley.
At this point, you’ve got a dish that’s Instagram-worthy but also incredibly satisfying. Serve it warm, and just wait for the compliments.

Tips for success
Don’t skip the oil and honey brush—it’s what helps the squash caramelize beautifully.
If the goat cheese feels too strong for your taste, mix it with a little cream cheese to soften the flavor.
