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.
-
Serve with with your choice of protein and a salad.
