Roasted spiced butternut with Camembert
Ingredients
- 2 medium butternut, halved and seeded
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 30ml (2 tbsp) ground cumin
- 10ml (2 tsp) ground nutmeg

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Place the butternut halves in a roasting tray. Mix the garlic, cumin and nutmeg together and spread over the butternut. Drizzle with the oil and roast until the butternut is just soft, about 1 hour.
