Roasted Pumpkin Salad

Serves 6 Prep Time 10 minutes   Cook Time 30 minutes   Rated:

I am partial to a great salad. Apart from desserts, I think I shine at salads. And I love pumpkin in all its sticky caramelised glory. I had the fam coming over and it was hot, and so the BBQ was on protein duty. This was just a very easy side. And I will definitely be making it again, no Thermomix involved. Yep. You heard me. Not a thermie in sight. Sometimes, that is how I roll! Enjoy.

Need

  • 1/2 small jap pumpkin, sliced in wedges
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) as needed BUY
  • Pink salt flakes as needed
  • Generous Handfuls pepitas
  • 2-3 Tablespoons chilli flakes
  • Enough rocket to fill the platter you use
  • 300 Grams Persian feta, broken into pieces
  • 2-3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Do

1  

Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with paper.

2  

Prepare the pumpkin by cutting into thin wedges, leaving the skin on. Drizzle generously with EVOO, and season with salt, and roast approximately 20-25 minutes or until well browned and tender. Don’t over do it or the salad will break up too easily.

3  

Meanwhile, toast the seeds in a pan with more EVOO, salt and chilli flakes, tossing frequently to prevent burning. This will only take a couple of minutes at most. Allow them to cool.

4  

Assemble the salad by arranging the rocket onto a serving platter. Arrange the cooked pumpkin over, sprinkle with seeds and add the feta, being quite generous with the oil that the feta is marinated in.

5  

Drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar if desired. Serve.
