  • 131.25 gm orange juice
  • 250.00 ml couscous

  • - Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan-forced and line a baking tray with baking paper. - In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin with honey and 1 tablespoon of oil. Toss until well coated. - Spread the pumpkin in a single layer on the prepared tray. - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until caramelized and tender.
  • Combine 2 tablespoons of orange juice and the remaining oil in a screw-top jar. Season with your favorite spices, secure the lid tightly, and shake to blend all the flavors together.
