Roasted butternutsquash, sweet potatoes with smoked bacon


Serves two or one greedy one

Wash butternutsquash. Trim half inch off top and bottom, discard this. Half it lengthwise and remove seeds. Quarter both sections then cut each quarter into 4 lengthwise to make boat shaped pieces. Wash a large sweet potato well and divide it into similar sized pieces. Place on baking tray(s).

Mix together 2tbs fennel seeds, 2 tbsp red chilli flakes, tsp salt and pepper, 4 crushed garlic cloves, 2 tbsp dried rosemary and 4 tbsp oil. Dot each vegetable portion with some of the mixture.

Bake in a preheated oven 200c, 180 fan.

After 20 minutes cut 4 slices of smoked bacon in halves and arrange on top of the vegetables.

Bake another 20 minutes at 200c, 180 fan oven. Serve on a bed of washed baby spinach. Don't forget to use the tasty gnarly bits which will have stuck to the baking sheets.
