Veggies can indulge in Hugh’s roasted squash recipe, cooked in garlic, chilli and rosemary

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 large butternut squash, about 1kg, or the equivalent weight of Crown Prince, acorn or other squash or pumpkin
  • 6-8 fat garlic cloves, skin on, lightly squashed
  • A few sprigs of rosemary
  • 1 fairly hot red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 4-5 tbsp rapeseed or olive oil
  • 40g pine nuts or walnuts (optional)
  • Juice of ½ a lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method: How to make roast squash with garlic, chilli and rosemary

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/gas 5.

2. Slice the squash into quarters and deseed it, scooping out the seeds with a spoon (you can dry the seeds in an airing cupboard and use them to grow your own squashes). I leave the skin on most squashes when I’m roasting them but you can peel it off if you prefer. Cut the squash into wedges or chunks and put them in a small roasting tin. Add the garlic and rosemary, the chopped chilli and lots of salt and pepper. Trickle over 2-3 tbsp oil and toss the lot together. Roast for 40-55 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the squash is completely soft and starting to caramelise.

3. Meanwhile, if you’re using nuts, toast them in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for a few minutes, until golden brown.

4. Scatter the nuts over the roasted squash. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and another good trickle of oil, then serve.
