Spiced Winter Squash with Fennel

This vibrant spiced winter squash with fennel is a beautiful vegan side dish that celebrates the natural sweetness of roasted seasonal vegetables. By roasting the butternut squash and fennel at a high temperature, the edges become deliciously caramelised while the centres remain tender. The addition of aromatic cumin, cinnamon, and turmeric provides a warming depth of flavour that perfectly complements the subtle aniseed notes of the fennel.

Hearty and naturally gluten-free, this vegetable traybake is an excellent addition to a winter Sunday roast or served as a light main alongside some nutty quinoa or couscous. The recipe is incredibly simple to prepare, requiring just one tray and a handful of shop-bought spices, making it a reliable choice for healthy midweek entertaining or a nutritious family dinner.
