Method
  1. Preheat oven to 160°C/140°C F/Gas Mark 3

  2. Half the butternut squash and scoop out the seeds

  3. Roast the seeds with some olive oil in the oven for 10 minutes until crispy, then leave aside

  4. Score the butternut in a ‘criss cross’ pattern, drizzle with a good quality olive oil, gently rub in the Ras el Hanout and season

  5. Bake for 50 mins or until the squash is soft and cooked through

  6. Prepare the filling: take the rind off the Le Rustique Camembert and dice into chunks. This is easier when it has been chilled
