There’s nothing fancy here just the butternut squash, oil and salt to bring out the beautiful sweet flavour and roast it to an irresistible chewy texture. Roasting the slices slowly means they take on lots of colour but stay juicy and absorb the salt so you end up with a vegetable that you can happily snack on, dunk in spicy dip or serve alongside a pork loin. Butternut squash is a great source of fibre, protein and vitamins A, C and E so it’s doing you all kinds of good.
