INGREDIENTS

  • 1 whole medium butternut
  • 250 g streaky bacon
  • olive oil, for drizzling
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

 

METHOD

PREHEAT the oven to 200°C.

CUT butternut into quarters, lengthways.

WRAP each piece of butternut with 4-5 strips of bacon, making sure that the bacon strips overlap and that the ends are tucked underneath to avoid the bacon unravelling during roasting.

PLACE the wrapped butternut wedges on a greased roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper, and place in the preheated oven to roast until golden brown and soft, 25-30 minutes.
