Ingredients
- 1 small butternut squash, cut into small pieces Cubes or julienned- the smaller they are, the quicker they cook. Substitute: pumpkin, kabocha, sweet potato and carrots.
- ¼ Cup gochujang sauce Use a vegan brand if vegan
- ⅕ Cup sesame oil Substitute: other vegetable oils
- ⅕ Cup light soy sauce Don't use thick soy, dark soy or sweet soy- they're different sauces!
- shredded Mozzarella cheese Optional topping. Can substitute with other cheeses
- Spring onions (sliced), chillies (sliced), sesame seeds (toasted)... Optional garnishes
Instructions
Roasting the butternut squash
- Mix the gochujang, soy sauce and sesame oil well. Add the butternut squash slices and toss in the sauce till all the pieces are coated.
- Leave for 15- 30 minutes. Water will have oozed out at the end of the marinating period. (You may want to start pre-heating the oven at 400F/ 198C fan at this stage.)
- Line baking trays with parchment paper and spread the slices of squash on them in 1 layer. Make sure they're not too close or they will steam in the oven and not become crisp.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, till edges are brown and squash is cooked.
- Remove from oven and garnish with the scallions, sesame seeds and chillies.
Making the sauce
- Whilst the butternut squash is in the oven, heat the remaining marinade in a pan.
- If you want it to be thicker, add some cornstarch or potato starch, stirring well to make sure it doesn't clump.
- This sauce can be a dipping sauce for the squash fries or chicken tenders, or used to cook pasta or fried rice.
Notes
- Keep the butternut squash seeds so you can grow your own!
