Ingredients

  • ½ kent pumpkin, peeled and cut into 3-cm chunks
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 200 g baby rocket
  • 320 g jar marinated goat’s cheese in oil
  • 1 ripe mango, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Place the pumpkin on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Add the coconut oil and half the honey, then season to taste and toss to coat well. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning half-way through or until tender and lightly charred.
  3. Meanwhile, spread the pumpkin seeds over another baking paper lined baking tray and roast for 5 minutes or until lightly toasted.  
  4. Place the rocket in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil from the goats cheese and gently toss through. Add the mango, roasted pumpkin, about 5-6 pieces of goats cheese and half the pumpkin seeds. Toss to combine, then serve scattered with the remaining pumpkin seeds.
