    1 Preheat oven to 175ºC. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Scatter over butternut chunks and garlic. Drizzle over oil and honey. Use your hands to toss to coat.

    2 Sprinkle over nutmeg (if using) and season with a little salt and pepper. Roast for 30-40 minutes until butternut and garlic are soft and caramelised.

    3 Lightly rinse spinach and shake off most of the excess water, leaving some droplets behind. Scatter spinach on top of the butternut and garlic and return to oven for 2 minutes to allow spinach to wilt. Toss vegetables together and scatter with almonds just before serving.
