Stuffed Butternut Squash

Butternut squash is such a classic flavour. It has the sweetness of a root vegetable, but is so versatile. This Stuffed Butternut Squash recipe is brilliant for a mid-week meal and is an interesting take on loaded potato skins.

You Will Need: (Serves 2 Stuffed Butternut Squash)

• 1 Large Butternut Squash
• 1/2 Bag of Spinach
• 1 Red Onion
• 4 Cloves of Garlic
• 1 Red Pepper
• 100g Feta Cheese, or Goat’s Cheese

Method:

Split the butternut squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Lightly prick the flesh with a knife, drizzle with olive oil and bake in the oven for 40 mins at 200*C.
