3 lbs 1.4kg butternut squash with skin, cut into wedges and seeds removed
1 small bunch sage, leaves picked off
2 garlic bulbs, halved crossways
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons golden syrup or dark brown sugar or treacle

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the squash, sage leaves, garlic, oil, salt and pepper together on the baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.
While the squash is roasting, melt the butter with the golden syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Remove the squash from the oven, drizzle with the butter mixture and carefully toss to coat the squash. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until the squash is tender and caramelized. Either discard the garlic or squeeze the cloves from the garlic bulb halves to serve with the squash, discarding the papery outside.
