Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash peeled and sliced into large pieces
  • 6 broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into large pieces
  • 1 tub fresh ricotta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3-4 rosemary sprigs
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper optional

For the herb oil

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • small handful fresh thyme
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 390F / 200C.
  • Add the butternut squash, bell pepper and broccoli to a sheet pan. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables, toss to coat, then arrange in an even layer.
  • Place the ricotta in between the vegetables, drizzle over 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the honey. Drizzle a little honey over the vegetables and nestle the rosemary sprigs in between the vegetables. Season with salt and black pepper (if using). Bake for 40 minutes or until the vegetables are fork tender and the ricotta has a little browning.
  • Make a herb oil by adding a small handful of thyme with 2 tablespoon of olive oil, salt and black pepper (if using) to a pestle and mortar or small bowl. Bruise the thyme and mix into the olive oil.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven once the ricotta has started to lightly brown. Drizzle over the herb oil, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • It's down to preference whether you peel the butternut squash. Roasted butternut squash doesn't have to be peeled, but many prefer to do so.
  • If your ricotta is in some liquid, carefully drain before adding it to the sheet pan.
