1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC / 180ºC fan / gas mark 6. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthways. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Carefully cut the flesh out, to about 1.5 cm from the skin. Cut the pulp into cubes. Cover a baking tray with baking paper and place the two squash halves and the cubes on it. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Place in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the squash is soft.
