Making a roast this week? If you’re bored of the standard veggie accompaniments’ to your favourite roast dinner meat, why not switch them up this week for this gorgeous butternut squash recipe?

This tasty dish goes fantastically with roast pork, but will make a delicious side to most other roasts too and will brighten up your plate with a burst of brilliant colour.

What’s more, this veggie side is really easy to make and uses only three ingredients so it’s really cost effective. It’s just a case of throwing everything in a pan, seasoning, and whacking it in the oven.

Butternut squash is really low in fat, making it a great veg to eat for optimum heart health. It’s also a great source of dietary fibre and is high in potassium, which is great for bone health. Butternut squash also contains vitamin B6, which is vital to help your immune and nervous systems function properly.

Carrots are full of beta-carotene, which helps maintain healthy skin and eyes, but they also contain vitamin A and vitamin C amongst a whole host of other vitamins and vital minerals.
