Gather
  • 1/4 medium pumpkin
  • spray of oil of choice
  • 1 teaspoon mixed spice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons pecans
  • *optional serving ideas yogurt, ice-cream, cream and/or maple syrup
Prepare

  1. Pre-heat the oven to medium hot.

  2. Peel the pumpkin (a potato peeler is great for this), then chop into bite-sized cubes.

  3. Place the pumpkin on a non-stick baking tray, spritz with oil, then sprinkle over the spice and the sugar. Spray again with oil if needed, then toss everything together to combine.

  4. Bake for 15-25 minutes (depending on your oven, the pumpkin used and the size of your cubes). When cooked, the pumpkin should be soft and turning golden.

  5. Remove from the oven, arrange on a serving plate and sprinkle the nuts over. Serve as it is, or add a serving of yogurt, ice-cream or cream and a splash of maple syrup.

  6. Serve & Enjoy!
