A simple, easy recipe for perfectly baked butternut pumpkin, seasoned with olive oil, garlic powder and smokey paprika. It is the perfect side especially at this time of the year.
Oven- baked is the best way to prepare butternut pumpkin. This simple technique allows for a crispy, caramelised outside with a soft and fluffy inside. Absolutely delicious!
Pumpkin is often made into sweet dishes but honestly, savoury is the best and my absolute favourite. You can easily have it as a side to a tasty Sunday roast, have it with some aioli or as a delicious addition to your midday salad. The options are endless.
This recipe is super simple and calls for the most simplest ingredients.
You can easily store leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. If you would like to reheat the pumpkin, simply place it into the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 10-15 minutes.
If you find that you don’t want to cook the whole pumpkin at once, you can easily cover the sliced side of the pumpkin with some cling wrap and place into a cool place or the fridge up to 5 days.
