Serves:
2
Prep time:
10 minutes
Cook time:
30 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 500g pumpkin, chopped into chunks
- 1 tbsp olive oil OR avocado oil
- ½ bunch coriander
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- ½ lime, sliced into wedges
- Salt and pepper
Sauce
- ½ cup peanut butter, natural
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp fish sauce OR vegan alternative
- ½ lime, juiced
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 180℃.
- Place sliced pumpkin on a large baking tray and coat lightly in oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until soft with some golden caramelised edges.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl, along with ¼ cup (60ml) of water.
- Assemble by placing the roasted pumpkin on a plate, drizzle over the prepared sauce and top with fresh coriander, sesame seeds and a wedge of lime.
Notes
- For the best results, don’t overcrowd the pumpkin! This will prevent each piece from getting nice and caramelised, which is where the flavour really shines. Also, you can totally eat pumpkin skin, I like to leave my pumpkin skin on when I roast it, it’s actually my favourite part!
