Whole Baked Heritage Squash With Garlic & Sage Butter

Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.

Pierce the base of each squash with a sharp knife and place onto a baking tray. Drizzle a little olive oil over each squash and smother until the skins are evenly coated. Transfer to the oven to bake. This should take around 35-50 minutes depending on the size of your squash – they will be ready when the skin is turning golden and the flesh has softened.

Meanwhile, make your butter dressing. Melt the butter in a plan over a medium heat until it begins to turn golden brown. Add the finely sliced garlic and continue to cook until the garlic begins to curl and crisp. Add the sage and seasoning before cooking for a further minute. Set aside to cool slightly before adding a spritz of lemon juice.

When the squash have cooked through, transfer them to a platter. Drizzle over the garlic and sage butter and serve.
