"Try our delicious pumpkin side dish swap for a unique twist!"
Ingredients:
  • 1.6kg pumpkin
  • 25g butter, melted
  • 45.00 gm brown sugar
  • 53.60 gm golden syrup
  • 2.50 gm paprika
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra sprigs to serve
  • 62.50 ml pecans, toasted, roughly chopped
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan-forced and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
  • Peel the pumpkin, then cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out and discard the seeds.
  • Lay one pumpkin half, cut-side down, on a chopping board. Gently position a chopstick on each side of the pumpkin. Slice the pumpkin thinly, ensuring the chopsticks help you not slice through completely. Transfer to a prepared tray. Repeat with the other pumpkin half.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt together butter, sugar, syrup, paprika, and half of the thyme. Stir for 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Brush the pumpkin with half of the mixture. Roast for 40-45 minutes, brushing twice with the rest of the mixture until golden and tender. Serve sprinkled with the remaining thyme, extra sprigs, and pecans.
