Wood-Roasted Pumpkin

2 onion squash, approximately 1 kg (2.1/4 lb) in weight, peeled and cut into 2 cm (3/4 in) wedges

150 ml (5 fl oz) olive oil

1 small dried red chilli, crumbled

Maldon salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 240°C/400°F/Gas 6.

Cut the squash in half and then each half into eighths, 2–3 cm (1.1/4–3.1/4 in) wide at the centre. Use a dessert spoon and scrape away the seeds and coarse fibre.
