GO FOR GOLDEN
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Butternut on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
CARAMELISED Onion
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the Onion until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally).
SOME PREP
In a small bowl, combine the Cornflour, the worcestershire sauce, and 50ml [100ml]|#7DA0D7 of water.
