Roast pumpkin with cinnamon

-

Serves 6

Preparatio­n: 5 minutes Cooking time: 45 minutes Oven temperatur­e: 180°C

• 12 slices unpeeled pumpkin, seeds removed • 125ml butter

• 125ml brown sugar

• 15ml ground cinnamon (or to taste)

• a sprinkle of coarse salt

• about 15ml fresh lemon juice (optional)

1 Preheat the oven. Arrange the pumpkin slices in an ovenproof pan lined with baking paper. Dot with butter, sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon and salt, and drizzle with the lemon juice.

2 Roast the pumpkin for 30 minutes until it starts to caramelise. Turn the pieces over and bake for another 15 minutes or until the pumpkin is cooked through and caramelise­d. If your slices are thick, cover them with foil for the first half hour, otherwise they will take longer to cook.
