rating:Another one from the Asda February 2006 magazine. It suggests this would be a good accompaniment for roast chicken.

3 TBS clear honey
1 TBS orange juice
2 tsp course grain mustard

Put the oil in a roasting tin and heat in oven for 5 minutes. Put the squash in the oil, carefully tossing to coat all sides.
Roast for 35 minutes until tender and just brown.
Drain off any excess oil. Mix together the honey, orange juice, mustard and sesame seeds and drizzle this over the squash.
Return to the oven and cook for a further 5 minutes.
