A gorgeous roast pumpkin recipe with maple and feta cheese. Perfect for fall entertaining and the holiday period.

Maple Roast Pumpkin

pumpkin

maple syrup

rosemary

g feta cheese (3.5 ounces)

tbsp pepitas

Preheat oven to 200C/400F and line a large baking tray with parchmant paper

Cut pumpkin into wedges, or rounds if using butternut squash or acorn squash. Remove seeds. Skin can be kept on.

Lay out pumpkin on your prepared baking tray

Combine olive oil, maple syrup, rosemary and salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Pour the olive oil mix over the pumpkin and use a silicone pastry brush or your hands to coat the pumpkin on both sides.

Roast pumpkin for 30-40 minutes, flipping the pumpkin halfway. The pumpkin should be caramelised on top but soft enough in the middle to poke a knife into it.

Remove the pumpkin from the oven, and crumble the feta cheese over the top and sprinkle with pepitas and some leftover rosemary for garnish. Serve immediately warmed.

No peeling, no dicing, no faff and just three ingredients are needed to make soft, charred, roasted butternut squash that you can use in so many recipes. 
If you're anything like me, this technique for roasting squash is going to be a bit of a lifeline. Just slice the squash down the middle, then pop into the oven to get all charred and gorgeous. 

The Easy Way to Roast Butternut Squash

butternut squash

salt

Halve the squash

Heat your oven to 210C/400F fanbake and line an oven tray with baking paper. Slice the top of the squash off (the part with the end of the stem &#8211; this will make it easier to cut in half). Use a large knife to carefully cut the squash in half, lengthways, so you&#8217;re left with two large pieces. I find the easiest way to do this is the stand the squash up, and cut from the top down. Scoop the seeds out, and set them aside.

Rub with olive oil. 

Drizzle the exposed sides of the squash with the olive oil and the salt, then place them, exposed sides down, on your prepared tray.

Roast the squash. 

Transfer to the oven, and roast for 45 minutes, or until the flesh of the squash can be easily pierced with a knife through the skin. Remove from the oven.

A healthy(ish) vegetarian pizza option for the whole family.

flour

tsps instant yeast

water

tsps minced garlic

mozzarella and cheddar blend

red onion

oregano

feta

rocket

Combine in a bowl the flour, salt and yeast. Make a well and pour in the oil and water. Mix with your hands until a dough forms. Let it sit in an oily bowl for about 30 minutes to let it rise.

The Dough

Lay the pumpkin and onion out on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast in the oven at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Flatten the dough to your preferred thickness and drizzle on the olive oil and spread on a thin layer of garlic. Then add the mozzarella and cheddar blend, pumpkin, onion, oregano and feta. Place in the oven at 200 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

When the cheese is melted take it out and top with the fresh rocket.
