Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200˚C/fan 180˚C/gas 6. Put the butternut squash on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, drizzle with the oil and season. Roast for 20 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked.

  2. anwhile, unroll the pastry and roll it out a little thinner. Using a 7.5cm plain cutter, cut out 12 rounds. Re-roll the trimmings and use the cutter to cut out 8 more rounds. Take 2 × 12-hole muffin tins and press the rounds into 20 holes to cover the bases and a little of the sides.
