Method
Step 1 of 3
Cut the pumpkin into 8 wedges. Remove the seeds and fibre but leave the skin on. Brush all over with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and spread out on a large baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven, 220°C for 20-25 minutes until tender, turning halfway through.
Step 2 of 3
Meanwhile, make the pesto. Put the walnuts, spring onions, garlic and rocket in a food processor and process until finely chopped. With the motor running, gradually drizzle in the oils. Season the pesto with salt and pepper.
Step 3 of 3
Serve the roasted pumpkin with the pesto and extra rocket leaves.
