HASSELBACK
BUTTERNUT
SQUASH

Serves: 2
Prep time: 10 min
Cooking time: 30 min

Hasselback is a technique normally
used with potatoes; the process of
thinly slicing and then roasting
allows more surface area to crisp
up. Adding a honey, mustard and
balsamic glaze towards the end of
cooking results in crispy, sticky,
sweet squashy goodness. This
recipe would work well with spiced
couscous, quinoa, or on its own as
part of a veggie platter.

Ingredients Step 1: Preheat oven to 180°C/Gas 4. Prepare the squash by cutting it in half

olive oil accidentally slicing all the way through.
Step 2: Rub or brush olive oil over the squash and season with salt and black pepper.

1 tbsp light brown sugar squash. Bake for 15 minutes.

40g salted butter the mix is thoroughly combined.
2 tbsp balsamic glaze Step 4: After 15 minutes, remove the squash from the oven and brush over the glaze.
1 tsp smoked paprika Repeat this every 8/10 minutes until the squash has cooked through: the centre
should be soft and the outside should have crisped up.

If you need any advice or support with issues
such as benefits, housing, employment, health
and debt, we can help you. Call into
Marketplace Ministries and someone will assist
you to use the booth and speak to an adviser.

Please bear in mind they are operating a one in
one out service, and you may be required to
wait outside.

We are also available to help over the phone;
call our free Adviceline on 0800 144 88 48 or
