Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Halve the squash and scoop out and discard the seeds and fibres. Cut into slices about 2cm thick at the thickest part. (If you are using a long butternut squash, you can halve it horizontally as well as lengthways before cutting the wedges, otherwise you will have very long slices.)
  2. Put the butter in a small saucepan and heat gently. Add 4 tbsp olive oil, the cinnamon and ginger. Put the wedges of squash into a roasting tin and pour the spicy mixture over them, using your hands to make sure the squash gets well-coated. Season and sprinkle with the sugar.
  3. Roast for 35 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelised. While the squash is cooking, baste every so often with the spice mixture. Arrange on a serving dish and squeeze the lemon over.

    A wonderfully simple but extremely delicious recipe - I cooked it for six and everyone loved it. It's a great way of using butternut squash that you could make for a weeknight supper or dinner party. Sugar quantity (from original olive mag) is 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon is 1/2 tsp

    Very nice and simple dish; my only worry is that this is in the Vegan Recipes section, yet it contains 25g of butter!

    I've made it a few times and it's always been amazing. Very simple yet tasty. I've had it on its own or with sausages.

    I made these tonight with some broccoli and crumbed chicken, these are delicious! The flavours are very subtle, but definitely there! Recommended.

    Do you peel it or leave the skin on? Sounds delish but not sure about the skin?
