Butternut squash is an abundant shoulder-season crop at Stage 22, the Greenville County, South Carolina, farm operated by Craig Weiner, who grows for the Greenville area's Hotel Domestique. At its Restaurant 17, chef Haydn Shaak garnishes the dish with pepitas from the farm's pumpkins and whatever fresh herbs Weiner has in abundance.

  • Meanwhile, toss pepitas with 1 teaspoon oil, garlic powder, paprika and pinch of salt. Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl to cool.

  • Whisk honey, chile peppers and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl until well combined. Add the squash and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss to combine. Serve the squash topped with the pepitas, dried cherries and herbs.
