It’s pumpkin season here in Western Australia and I love this way of baking it, it just looks so pretty!
Serves 4-6.
Ingredients
1/2 large butternut pumpkin, peeled and seeded
1-2 teaspoons oil
2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt flakes
Pepper
Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees centigrade.
Line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
Slice the pumpkin and then cut into chunks.
In a bowl, combine the pumpkin and oil.
Spread the pumpkin over the prepared tin.
Sprinkle over the sesame seeds, thyme, salt flakes and pepper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and colouring a little.
I too love roasting pumpkin – a good tip I followed is to reduce the cooking temperature and increase the cooking time – it creates an even more tender and sweet result 😊
Tasty!
