After posting this I realized that many of you aren’t used to eating butternut with its skin on. I grew up eating it with and without the skin but I can highly recommend giving it a try with the skin on. It softens and caramelizes beautifully in while roasting and who doesn’t love a little extra fiber with your meal. There are a few additions you could add to this recipe to level it like such a as balsamic glaze, roasted nuts of your choice, rosemary etc. Also, feel free to substitute the butternut with pumpkin.

No matter how you mix it up, roasted veggies always come out tasting incredible. Give it a try and enjoy a meal that’s both effortless and full of flavor!

Print Pin Rate

Ingredients

  • 2 kg butternut skin-on and cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Good pinch of salt
  • 350 grams green beans washed and trimmed
  • 130 grams wheels of plain feta
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds roasted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 220 degrees celsius.
  • Wash the outer skin of the butternut. Keep the skin on but scoop out the pips etc. Cut into large chunks.
  • Add the butternut and olive oil to a large oven proof tray and make sure the butternut is fully coated in the oil. Add Rosemary if using. Sprinkle with salt and roast for 30-40 minutes or until the butternut has caramelized.
  • Meanwhile, wash the green beans and cut off the stems. You can also add the pumpkin seeds to a small saucepan and toasted them on a medium heat - they’ll start to pop like popcorn and turn light brown in colour.
  • Remove the butternut from the oven. Using a steel spatula, loosen and flip the butternut. Place the green beans on top or you can roughly mix them in. Roast for another 10-15 minsutes.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle over large crumbs of feta and transfer to your serving dish. Finish off with a last sprinkle of salt and the toasted pumpkin seeds.
  • Serve and devour!
