Roasted butternut is amazing! and the best part is, it requires practically ZERO effort.
I generally dress my half butternut with a little salt, pepper, spice of choice, olive oil, a dollop of butter for extra decadence, a few fresh herbs (generally lemon thyme and a little rosemary), GARLIC - OBVIOUSLY!!! and then... the cherry on the cake... a sprinkling of bean sprouts!
When you roast the butternut, the bean sprouts render into the most fantastically crunchy little delights which compliment the flavour of the butternut like a dream!
I generally roast it open for approx. 45 min at about 200 degrees celcius...
Easy as pie nomness!
enjoy!
