  • Roasted Pumpkin

It’s no secret that I enjoy vegetables. I’m always trying to be creative with veggies, and I like experimenting with different flavours and combinations.

Pumpkin is very versatile, and adding a variety of herbs and spices quickly changes up it’s flavour. For me the ultimate indulgence is when the roasted pumpkin caramelises.

Caramelized Roasted Pumpkin also makes for a good pumpkin puree, and can even be added to Pasta Ravioli Pockets. Spice it up with freshly chopped chillies or add Cinnamon and sugar to make it extra sweet.

Choosing to serve the roast pumpkin as is or combine it with other ingredients and make it a dish is entirely up to you.
