Bacon and butternut squash wraps
Serves 2
Ingredients
● 1 small butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and diced

● 4 rashers streaky, rindless bacon, chopped
● 1 tbsp roughly chopped fresh sage leaves

3. Add the bacon and sage then roast for a further 15 minutes or, until the vegetables are cooked and slightly charred and the bacon is crispy.
4. Cut both wraps in half, fold each into a cone and, using a cocktail stick, pierce the wrap through the overlap to keep in position.
5. For the dressing, place the walnuts on a small baking tray and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned and toasted. Chop finely.
6. Brush the wraps with a little oil, stand up on a tray and bake for 2-4 minutes until warm and slightly toasted, holding the cone shape, then remove from the oven.
