• 1 dash freshly ground black pepperNutrition
• 4 cloves garlic, in skinNutrition
• 1 lb butternut squash (large one)Nutrition

Directions

1. 1Pre-heat the oven on a medium heat.
2. 2Chop the squash in half, then peel and remove all the pulp and pips.
3. 3Cut the squash in to bite size chunks and place in a baking tray, at least 1" deep.
4. 4Add the garlic still in the skins, spreading them out (they steam inside and go all soft).
5. 5Cut the butter into little chunks, distribute evenly and add the black pepper.
6. 6Put in the oven and cook till soft all the way through, the longer it cooks, the sweeter it is, turning it all over every so often, so the melted butter covers all the chunks and it all cooks evenly.

8. 8Adding some streaky bacon can work as well.
