Ingredients:

Serving

1 small butternut squash (about 1 1/2 lb), halved lengthwise and seeded
1/2 tbsp olive oil, more for brushing
1 1/2 cup chopped shallots (about 4 large shallots)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 baguette , cut crosswise into (1/3-inch) thick slices
3 tbsp almond butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange squash on a greased baking sheet, cut sides down, and bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Set aside to let cool then transfer 1 1/2 cups of the flesh to a food processor. (Save any remaining flesh for another use.)
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add shallots, salt and pepper and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, brush bread all over with oil, arrange on a large baking sheet in a single layer and toast in the oven, flipping halfway through, until just golden and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes total.
Add shallots and almond butter to food processor with squash and purée until smooth. Spread over warm crostini and serve.
