Elevate roasted pumpkin with spicy chili and crispy pumpkin seeds.
Ingredients:
  • 2kg butternut pumpkin, peeled, seeded, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 60ml olive oil
  • 42.00 gm lemon juice
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh rosemary
  • 4 long red chillies, seeded, sliced
  • 80ml olive oil
  • 65g pepitas
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped shallot
  • 20.00 ml finely grated lemon zest
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 250°C with a sturdy baking tray on the center rack.
  • Combine the pumpkin, ¼ cup (60ml) of oil, lemon juice, and rosemary in a large bowl. Season with salt to taste.
  • Take out the baking tray from the oven and evenly spread the pumpkin on the hot tray. Roast the pumpkin for 25 minutes, turning it occasionally. After that, sprinkle the chili over the pumpkin and roast for an additional 10 minutes until the pumpkin is caramelized and tender. Finally, transfer to a platter.
