Roasting is a delicious way to prepare pumpkin. Perfect as a side dish, or as part of a salad.

Pumpkin is a quintessential autumn vegetable and comes in many shapes, sizes and colours. For roasting, opt for bottle gourd or red kuri squash, as you don't need to peel them.

This roasted pumpkin recipe has a subtle smoky flavour due to the inclusion of smoked paprika. If you're using sweet paprika, you can add a little chilli powder or cayenne pepper to ensure the dish still has a bit of spice.

Preparing the roast pumpkin – 30 minutes

Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Roast the pumpkin in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, the exact time depends on your oven and the thickness of the pumpkin slices. Enjoy your meal!
