Step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C.
Step 2
Cut squash into wedges – quarters or sixths, depending on their size.
Step 3
Place in a medium bowl and sprinkle over the salt, pepper, dried thyme and chilli flakes, then drizzle with the olive oil and toss with your hands until well coated.
Step 4
Transfer to a large baking tray and spread out so there is a bit of space between each wedge.
Step 5
Place in the oven and bake for 30-45 minutes, until really charred and soft inside. To get really good caramelisation on the edges, you can turn the grill setting on in the oven for the last 10 minutes – but keep checking them!
Step 6
Meanwhile, chop the parsley and toasted almonds, and set aside for serving.
Step 7
When the squash are nicely charred and soft inside, remove the tray from the oven.
Step 8
Serve straight from the tray or transfer to a platter, scatter over the chopped parsley and toasted almonds, and squeeze over the lemon juice.
