I have a fantastic and simple recipe (aren't the most fantastic recipes often simple?) from one of my best friends and bridesmaids, the gorgeous, passionate and talented Anna Bishop. We started this recipe chain thing (people who have not replied, you know who you are!) and this was the recipe that she sent along.
It's also very versatile. I would eat it alone, as a trimming to a roast, or make soup. It's quite difficult for two people to finish an entire squash, so I took the leftovers and made soup the next day! Just blitz with some chicken stock and a dash of milk/cream and reheat. Serve with toast. It was yummy...
ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH
Cooking time: 30 mins
1 butternut squash
3/4 tsp cumin
3 tbsp oregano
3 tbsp ground coriander seeds
3 tsp garlic powder
Pinch of chili powder (to taste)
3 tsp salt
Olive oil or olive oil spray
*****
Cut butternut squash into 4 inch wedges (quarter it lengthwise, half each quarter). Spray each wedge with olive oil, toss in mixed spices. Arrange on baking tray. Roast at 200 C/ 390 F for 30 mins.
The sweet and tender meat of the butternut squash simply melds in the oven with the salty and crunchy spice mix. Beautiful!
