PUMPKIN & CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH PECANS & FETA

Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 400 grams pumpkin
  • 1 medium cauliflower
  • 15 pecans (or almonds or walnuts)
  • 1 teaspoon chilli powder
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 50 grams feta cheese
  • Lettuce, to serve

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 C.
  • Chop the pumpkin into approx 1” cubes. Chop the cauliflower into small florets. Add both to a large baking tray. Toss with olive oil, chilli powder, pepper and salt. (Go easy on the salt since there’s going to be a feta topping.)
  • Roast in the middle rack of the oven for 30-40 mins (until the pumpkin is cooked through and both the veg are nicely browned).
  • Add 2 tablespoons of honey over the roasted veg. Toss with a spatula. Toss the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey with the pecans. Push the veg to one side and lay out the nuts on the other.
  • Put the tray back in the oven, but on the top rack this time. Roast for another 5 mins.
  • Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl. Add lemon zest and toss together.
  • To serve, add some lettuce to a plate. Top with the roasted pumpkin and cauliflower. Roughly chop the nuts and add. Crumble over the feta-lemon zest topping. Serve warm or at room temp.
