Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and cut into 3cm (1in) cubes (about 500g/1lb 2oz prepared weight)

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.

Recipe notes

Sometimes dinner is as easy as adding everything to a roasting tin and letting the oven do all the hard work. This simple traybake will be ready to serve in less than 45 minutes. I love it with wedges of lemon for a fresh contrast to the coconut milk.

This recipe also works well with frozen butternut squash, saving you peeling and chopping time. Frozen butternut squash is available from most supermarkets, and is a useful addition to your freezer.
