Description

Crisp, golden, and roasted with herbs and sticky maple syrup, try this delicious and impressive pumpkin twist on classic hasselback potatoes.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Preheat oven to 200℃/180℃ fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place syrup, butter and 2 thyme sprigs in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes or until butter has melted and mixture has slightly thickened. Set aside.

Step 2 of 4

Meanwhile, peel pumpkin, then scoop out and discard seeds. Place one pumpkin half, cut-side down, on a chopping board. Place a chopstick along each long side of pumpkin. Slice pumpkin thinly, cutting through to chopsticks to prevent cutting all the way through. Transfer to tray. Repeat with remaining pumpkin.

Step 3 of 4

Brush pumpkin with half of the syrup mixture. Bake, brushing every 10 minutes with remaining syrup mixture, for 45 minutes, sprinkling pecans, almonds and remaining thyme sprigs over pumpkin in the last 10 minutes of cooking time, or until pumpkin is golden and tender.

Step 4 of 4

Combine rocket, feta, reserved oil and cranberries in a bowl. Serve pumpkin with rocket salad.
