400g butternut squash, cut into 3cm cubes
2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
140g red onion, cut into wedges
8 free range chicken thighs
2 tsp ras el hanout
1 lemon
2 tsp clear honey
300g cauliflower, cut into bitesized florets
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves, to serve

Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Place the squash in a large roasting tin, drizzle with a little oil, season and roast for 10 minutes. Tuck the red onion and chicken thighs among the squash.
Mix the ras el hanout, juice of 1/2 lemon, 2 tbsp oil and honey together with seasoning in a small jug and drizzle over everything in the tin. Tuck the remaining lemon half into the tin.
Roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Add the cauliflower, drizzle with a little more oil and roast for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden and the juices run clear when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, and the cauliflower is tender.
Divide the chicken and vegetables among 4 plates. Squeeze the roasted lemon over the top and scatter with coriander to serve.
