Ingredients:
  • 1 butternut pumpkin, peeled, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 2 red onions, cut into wedges
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 82.50 ml oregano leaves, chopped
  • 100ml olive oil, plus extra to brush
  • 250g vine-ripened cherry tomatoes

  • 20.00 ml red wine vinegar
  • 120g watercress or baby spinach leaves

Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Line a roasting pan with baking paper. Place the pumpkin and onion in the pan, sprinkle with chili flakes, cumin, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of oil, and toss everything together.
  • Roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Add tomatoes for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Let them cool. Brush a chargrill pan with oil and heat over high heat. Cook the corn for about 10 minutes until slightly charred, then slice the kernels off the cobs and place them in a bowl.
