Ingredients

  • ½ butternut squash
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes optional
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped

Instructions

  • Scoop out the seeds of the butternut squash, and set them aside.
  • Wash, peel and then cut the butternut squash into cubes.
  • Place the cubed butternut squash in a bowl. Add salt, black pepper, oregano, red chili powder, olive oil and chopped garlic. Toss together till the butternut squash is completely coated.
  • Pre-heat oven to 180 C.
  • Place the cubed butternut squash on a baking tray making sure that they don’t overlap each other.
  • Bake for about 30 – 35 minutes till the squash is fork tender. Turn over the squash half-way round the baking process.
  • Meanwhile, take the seeds of the squash and wash them to remove the membrane. Drain and dry the seeds, and then place them in a bowl.
  • Season with salt, black pepper and olive oil. Toss to coat.
  • Once the butternut squash is roasted, remove the baking tray and place the seasoned seeds in the baking tray. Bake for about 10 – 15 minutes till toasted and golden brown.
