Halloumi & Butternut Squash Orzo Bake

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200C.

Step 2

In a roasting dish, put the onion, butternut squash and garlic and drizzle over the oil, the paprika and plenty of salt and pepper. Toss everything so it's all coated. Bake for 30 minutes, uncovered.

Step 3

Add the orzo, vegetable stock, cherry tomatoes and pesto. Mix well and then sit the cubes of halloumi on top.

Step 4

Bake for 15-25 minutes, uncovered until the halloumi is golden and the orzo is cooked through. (Check at 15 minutes, the orzo cooking time can vary depending on the brand. Return to the oven if it needs longer. If it's drying out, add a splash of water.)
