Butternut squash (medium) 1

4
Put the oil in a frying pan and fry the squash on medium heat for 5-6 minutes. Sprinkle with the salt.
5
Pour over the soy sauce and golden syrup. Fry for a further 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
6
This is the golden syrup, it's a sugar syrup.
7
Transfer the squash onto a serving dish and serve with lots of sesame seeds sprinkled over. Enjoy whilst hot.

Tips & Note

Butternut squash is not as sweet as sweet potato or pumpkin so you'll need to add some sweetness. If you don't have golden syrup, make up a sauce with sugar dissolved in hot water.
