INGREDIENTS
- 650g seasonal squash or pumpkin, peeled and cut into half-moon slices
- 4 to 5 whole garlic cloves, skins attached
- 1 large red onion
- 4 sprigs of rosemary
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sunflower/canola oil
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper
- 50g mixed seeds

For the Dressing
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 200˚C
Place the prepared squash in the 3-ply Stainless Steel 26cm Square Roaster along with the garlic.
Remove the skin and cut the onion into large wedges and add to the roaster.
Tear in the sprigs of rosemary and sprinkle over the cinnamon, oil and seasoning.
Toss the ingredients together to ensure they are all coated and place in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the squash is tender.
While the squash is roasting make the dressing.
Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small jam jar, put the lid on tightly and shake the mixture well.
Shake again just before serving to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, scatter the seeds into the roaster to gently toast.
Once cooked, remove the roaster from the oven and drizzle over the dressing and some fresh rosemary before serving.
Alternatively, serve the dressing in the jam jar for your guest to add themselves at the table.
