From super food ideas - looks like a tasty vegetarian side. I would use sugar free maple syrup for diabetic reasons. Ingredients:
1 kg pumpkin (kent skin on cut into wedges) |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons maple syrup |
1/3 cup pecan nuts |
sour cream (to serve) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 210C (190C fan forced).
2. Lightly grease a large roasting pan.
3. Add pumpkin to pan and season with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil and half the syrup and roast for 20 minutes or until jut tender and lightly browned.
4. Combine pecans and remaining syrup in a bowl.
5. Add pecan mixture to pumpkin mixture and roast for 10 minutes or until pumpkin is tender.
6. Serve with the sour cream.
7. TIP - you could add 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves with the oil in step 3.
