Roasted Butternut Squash and Leeks with Orange Tahini Sauce, Walnuts, and Za'atar

(2 lb) butternut squash

extra virgin olive oil (divided)

leeks

(56 grams) tahini paste (*I recommend Soom brand)

orange juice

lemon juice

water (plus more if needed)

garlic (finely

Diamond Crystal kosher salt

red pepper flakes

walnuts

flat-leaf parsley

za'atar spice blend

salt and black pepper (to taste)

Turn the oven to 475°F (246°C) with a rack in the center position.

Toss the squash with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil on a large sheet pan. Roast until the squash starts to brown, about 15 minutes. Toss the leeks with 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil and add to the pan of squash. Roast until the squash is tender enough to pierce easily with a knife, about 15 minutes more.

While the vegetables roast, whisk the tahini and orange and lemon juices in a small bowl. Add enough water to make the mixture the thickness of a thin cream sauce. Season with the garlic, salt, and crushed red pepper.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the walnuts and stir until they darken slightly and smell toasty. Scrape into a bowl, cool for a bit, and toss with the parsley and za&#39;atar.

When the vegetables are done, transfer them to a platter. Season with flaky salt and black pepper. Drizzle with the tahini sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and scatter the walnut mixture on top. Serve right away.
