Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 180C (350F).
2. Peel your butternut squash. Slice them in half, scoop out the seeds and then hollow side down, slice down into the squash halves horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
3. Place squash hollow side down on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and then roast for 35 - 40 minutes in your preheated oven. These also cook up in about half the time in a large air fryer if you prefer or are short on time.
4. Whisk together the water, Chilli Peanut Butter, soy sauce or tamari, maple syrup, and lime juice. Add as much water as you like to achieve your desired consistency. The sauce will thicken if you make it in advance and store it in the fridge. Thin out a little more with hot water if desired.
5. Serve roast squash drowned in that epic sauce, sprinkle with chopped chili, peanuts, lime zest and mint or coriander!
