Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put a squash half flat-side down on a chopping board between two wooden spoon handles. Cut down in 1/2cm intervals (the spoon handles will stop the knife going all the way through). Repeat with the other three halves.

  • step 2

    Put the cherry tomatoes, harissa, garlic and 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large baking dish, season well and stir. Push the onion slices down into the sauce. Put the squash halves into the dish, flat-side down on top of the onions. Slot the bay leaves into the gaps, drizzle with another tbsp of oil and season well. Cover the dish with a large sheet of foil then cook for 30 minutes.

  • step 3

    Remove the foil, drizzle over the honey and sprinkle with smoked paprika. Roast for a further 30-40 minutes or until the squash is completely tender. Sprinkle over the feta, dill and lemon zest, if using, to serve.
