Roasted Butternut Squash (Ve, V, GF, DF)



I literally just finished eating this and had to share it because it was so delicious.  It couldn't be easier to make, you just shove the thing in the oven...

1 Butternut squash
1tsp Dried Sage
1tsp Fresh Rosemary (if using dried use a 1/2)
1tsp Smoked Paprika
1 large clove of Garlic
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Pre-heat the oven to 180C fan. Clean your squash and then halve lengthways and de-seed.  Then with a sharp knife score the flesh in a criss-cross pattern. Put a little oil in the bottom of an oven proof dish and then the squash on top. Sprinkle the dried herbs and paprika over the halves and then the rest of the oil, it's best to be generous if 2 tbsp isn't enough.

Put the squash in the oven for 70mins, you can take it out every once in a while to baste it with the oil that collects in the squash.

Crush a clove of garlic and spread evenly on both sides of the squash for the final 10mins, again baste the squash to stop the garlic burning.

That's it!
