Autumn Vegetables Roasted, with Lancashire Cheese . . . so tasty!

If you enjoy vegetables, then I'm sure you will find this colourful and hearty vegetarian supper dish very tasty, and so right for Autumn (Fall). Another plus is that it's made in one roasting tin, so saves on the washing up! LOL!

Ingredients

Serves - 4 as a side dish or, 2 as a main dish
1 large butternut squash (about 600-700g/1lb 5oz - 1lb 9oz in weight)
1 medium red onion
6 tbsp. olive oil
1 large sprig fresh sage
1 large courgette (zucchini)
1 tbsp. balsamic or sherry vinegar
100g Lancashire cheese - read about Lancashire Cheese here

Method
1. Preheat the oven to fan180C/conventional 200C/ gas 6. Using a sharp knife, cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut the halves into smaller pieces so you can peel them more easily. Chop the flesh into big bite-sized pieces – they don’t have to be neat.

2. Halve the onion and trim the root end leaving a little on to hold the segments together. Peel and then cut each half into four wedges. Scatter the squash and onion in a large roasting tin so they have plenty of room to roast, drizzle over 5 tbsp. of the oil and toss together. Strip the sage leaves from the stem and roughly chop – you should have about 2 tbsps. Scatter over the vegetables and season. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

3. Meanwhile, slice the courgette thickly and toss with the remaining oil. Remove the roasting tin from the oven and push the partly cooked squash and onion to the side. Put the courgette slices flat on the base and season. Roast for a further 10 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender.

4. Remove tin from the oven, sprinkle the vinegar over the vegetables and toss. Crumble over the Lancashire cheese. Toss lightly so the cheese melts a little and serve.
