10 min prep
30 min cook
4 serves
2.5 serves of veg
0.25 serves of fruit
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup mint leaves
  • 50g low-fat fetta cheese
  • ¼ cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1 ½ tbsp dried currants
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  1. Pre-heat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced) and scatter the pumpkin across a baking tray. Top with red onion, smoked paprika, olive oil and season with cracked pepper. Toss well to coat.
  2. Place in the oven for 30 minutes or until pumpkin is tender.
  3. Remove from the oven and crumble over the mint leaves and feta cheese. Top with roasted almonds and currants. Squeeze over the lemon juice and serve immediately.
  • Serving Suggestion: Mint can be swapped for 2 teaspoons dried mint. Currants can be swapped for sultanas or sugar-reduced dried cranberries.
  • Enjoy alongside one of our other salads such as our [lentil and bean summer salad] or [broccoli slaw] and pair with your choice of protein such as tofu, lentils, grilled chicken or fish.
  • Storage: Left over roast pumpkin can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Kids in the kitchen tips: Depending on your child’s age and skill, they can help measure the ingredients, scatter the fetta, currants and mint over the pumpkin before serving.
