Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 lb / 1 kg pumpkin or squash or sweet potato (whole, unpeeled)
  • 2 red onions, peeled and each onion cut into 12 wedges
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped (Note 1)
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup, or honey or brown sugar (Note 2)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp dried chili flakes, adjust to taste - flavour becomes milder when roasted
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • Fresh red chili (finely diced)
  • Parsley (finely chopped)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 200C/390F.
  • Peel and dice the pumpkin into 1"/2.5cm cubes (no need to peel if using squash or butternut pumpkin). Reserve the pumpkin seeds and give them a quick rinse under the tap.
  • Place the pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, onion and walnuts onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and maple syrup, then use an egg flip to toss the pumpkin so it is evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle the pumpkin with the dried chilli flakes, salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 25 minutes, or until the pumpkin is browned and cooked through. Toss once at around 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, crumble over feta and garnish with fresh chili and parsley, if using. Serve immediately.
