You’ve heard of potato and even sweet potato wedges, well, now it’s time to try butternut wedges. These wedges are an absolute treat with hints of garlic and herbs especially coming through.

The versatility of butternut

Butternut has a naturally sweet and nutty flavour which makes it that much more versatile in the kitchen. And with this wedges recipe, we will be playing around with the fact that butternut works brilliantly with both savoury and sweet flavours.

The savoury taste will come from the herbs (oregano, rosemary, parsley, thyme) and garlic mostly, while the sweet taste will come from the treacle sugar that is added to the marinade. And a sneaky taste of sour will pop through thanks to the lemon juice – but this will just enhance all the other delicious flavours.

The perfect salad

A delicious Orzo salad will be served along with the butternut wedges. And the Mediterranean influences of the salad will complement the wedges beautifully. The salad’s main ingredient is the Orzo pasta – a Greek pasta shaped like a large grain of rice. This filling and tasty salad are completed with fresh ingredients such as olives, red peppers and of course, feta cheese.

And lastly, all you have to do is blend the ingredients together to make the dressing. Once done, you are left with a sweet and tangy salad dressing to drizzle over your meal.
