600g butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and chopped into small chunks

Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas mark 6.

In a roasting tin, toss the butternut squash with 2 tablespoons of the oil and half the thyme.

Season with salt and pepper then roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.

In a pan, heat the remaining olive oil and cook the onion over a high heat, stirring for 5-8 minutes, until softened and turning golden.

Add the sundried tomato paste along with 2 tablespoons of water, and cinnamon.
