Step:

  1. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthways. Pop it in the oven for approximately 30 minutes, uncovered at 180C until the skin begins to brown and the orange flesh is softened. Set aside to cool then cube. Set aside any seeds. (These can be eaten as a snack. For best results toss in a tbsp salt.)
