Lunchbox Laces

Name: Lunchbox Laces
Yield: 14
Ingredients: 320 g Ready Rolled puff pastry; 150 g butternut squashes (Peeled and roughly chopped); 2 tbsp olive oil; 3 tbsp pesto; 100 g Arla Lactofree Cheddar

Make veggies taste delicious with our easy lunchbox laces. They're the perfect packed lunch idea for kids.

Instructions

Step 1

Pre-heat your oven to gas mark 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Place your butternut squash on a parchment paper lined roasting tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season and pop the tray in the oven for 25-30 mins.

Step 2

Once cooked, removed from the oven and blitz your butternut squash until smooth, either in a blender or with a hand blender. Add your pesto and stir together until fully mixed.

Step 3

Now let's make our laces! Roll out your puff pastry and spread the butternut squash mixture on top, leaving a bit of space free around the edge. Sprinkle with around 2/3 of your cheese.

Step 4

Fold your pastry in half, pushing the edges together. Fold again, then cut this into 12-14 thin strips. Twist each strip a few times and lay them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Step 5

Scatter the rest of your cheese over the strips and put in the oven for 15 mins until golden. Pop these in your kid's lunchbox as a healthy snack to fuel them for the rest of the day.

Enjoy!
