Butternut squash, or pumpkin as it is sometimes called, is great for roasting in the oven. Here we give it a nice twist by rubbing it with ground cumin and cinnamon. The butternut squash resembles sweet potato a bit to color and texture.
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Start by heating up the oven to 200° C / 400° F. Now cut the pumpkin in half lengthwise. Now cut the halves lengthwise again so you have four pieces.
- Sprinkle the spices evenly over the four halves, and drizzle some vegetable oil over the squash.
- Put the squash in the middle of the oven and let it roast for roughly 30-35 minutes. Take it out and enjoy as a side dish, or as part of a fresh salad. You can eat the shell/skin, or leave it on the plate, it is up to you.
