  • Butternut Squash Hasselbacks with Indian spices

    March 3, 2018 / Niki / 3 Comments

    I created this recipe when I arrived home from a shoot and and the fridge was bare and I mean totally bare! However there were two little Butternut squashes lurking at the back. So what to make? I have so many squash recipes but without the other ingredients needed… hasselbacks it had to be.

    Do you love hasselback potatoes? Then you’ll love my hasselback Butternut squash with warming Indian spices and crispy garlic. There’s something about those ridges which makes you immediately want the did into the soft yet crispy goodness. They’re great just as they are but of course much better with some spices and garlic toasted and drizzled over them.

    These are really good on their own but also a delicious side dish for curries, dals, chilli etc
    What are your favourite squash recipes? Here’s some of mine;

      I think I’ll love these butternut squash hasselbacks even MORE than potatoes! Butternut squash is such a nutritious ingredient that’s incredible to cook with. The addition of Indian spices just elevates everything! Great job! <3
