Roasted Squash

Ingredients

  • 1 Winter Squash (any variety)
  • Olive Oil
  • Sea Salt
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • Fresh Sage (roughly diced)
  • Ground Cinnamon

Directions

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC / 350ºF / Gas Mark 4
2. Peel the squash, then halve it and scoop out the seeds
3. Cut the squash into slices or good sized chunks
4. Place the squash on a large baking tray and drizzle with a little olive oil. Toss the squash with your hands so that each piece is covered
5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper then scatter the sage
6. Give a very light dusting of ground cinnamon
7. Cover the squash with foil, then bake for 30 minutes or until the squash is soft
8. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until crisp and starting to caramelise
9. Serve as a side dish with meat, in pasta or in soup

Note

For a spicier version, instead of cinnamon, try sprinkling a little cayenne pepper before roasting
