Ingredients

olive oil, to drizzle
8 slices hubbard squash, cut to a thickness of about 2cm
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a large baking tray with some olive oil. Place the squash on the tray, drizzle lightly with olive oil, season to taste and roast, 30 minutes. Stir the sugar, cinnamon, thyme, cashews, pistachios and biscuits together. Remove the squash from the oven, sprinkle with the crust mixture and roast for a further 15 minutes. To serve, crumble over some feta and garnish with basil leaves. This sweet squash dish is the perfect addition to a Sunday lunch with roasted meat and veggies.

You are doing an amazing job! Beautiful veg! Lettuces in February really cheered my winter up.
