Method

Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C.
Put the squash in a bowl with half the olive oil and the allspice. Season, and turn the squash until coated. Tip the squash into a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes, turning once, until tender and golden in places. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
Put the squash in a food processor with the yogurt, tahini, garlic, ground coriander and lemon juice, season and blend until smooth. (Alternatively mash with a potato masher or the back of a fork.) Add a little warm water if the mixture is too thick.
Spoon the humous into a serving bowl and serve sprinkled with fresh coriander and sesame seeds and a drizzle of olive oil.

Tip: If you don't have butternut squash, try roasting pumpkin instead - a great way to use up leftover pumpkin after Halloween!
