Serves 4

Delicious roasted butternut squash: fuss-free - just pop in the oven and set up the table! The spices bring out the flavour of this earthy vegetable and compliment it to the T!

1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed

2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

2 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and ground

1 tsp coriander seeds, toasted and ground

1 tsp ginger, ground

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp Kashmiri chilli

salt and pepper

fresh coriander to serve

1. Heat the oven to 200*C.

2. Combine the spices. Put the cubed squash in a baking dish big enough so that the pieces are in a single layer. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle the spices over. Toss together so the butternut squash is coated evenly.

4. Pop in the oven and bake for about 30 mins - or until the squash is tender. Toss it once halfway through.

5. Serve immediately!
