Ingredients
- 2 butternut squash
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt to taste
- fresh thyme
For the hot honey
- ½ cup honey
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine the honey, chilli flakes and lemon juice in a microwave-safe container and microwave for 2 minutes, in 30-second bursts, until hot and bubbling.
- Remove and allow to infuse for at least 30 minutes.
- Halve the butternut with a sharp knife then scoop out the seeds. Place the butternut, cut-side down onto a cutting board in front of you.
- Carefully cut slices into the butternut, taking care not to cut all the way through. You can microwave the butternut for a few minutes to make cutting easier if you prefer.
- Place the hasselback butternut squash on a sheet pan.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt on both sides. Place hasselback-side up on the sheetpan, scatter over thyme then cover with foil and roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.
- Once the butternut is tender, remove the foil and drizzle generously with the hot honey. Any leftover hot honey can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 month.
- Place back in the oven and allow to roast and caramelize for another 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes then serve.
