Oven Roasted Butternut

 

I started growing bored with roasting my butternut with cinnamon and paprika, salt and pepper and decided to put an Indian "curry" flavour to it - and wanted to experiment with the flavours.  I am glad I did, as the spice mix brings out the nutty and sweet flavour of the butternut superbly.

 

 

 

Ingredients

 

• 200g diced butternut 
• 1-2 tbs olive oil (or ghee or coconut oil)
• 1/4 tsp coriander powder
• 1/4 tsp cumin powder
• 1/4 tsp chilli powder OR cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• a pinch of turmeric (optional)
• 1 tsp salt

 

Here's How

 

• Preheat oven at 180 degrees celcius.  
• Add diced butternut into a deep dish and toss cubes with oil and spices.
• Transfer to oven proof dish and bake for about 40 -50 minutes, tossing the cubes at least once during the roasting.
