Roasted Pumpkin with Figs and Goat Cheese

An easy, beautiful vegetarian main that can be prepared in an hour - it combines fresh ripe figs and a savoury Asian-inspired spring onion and chilli oil for a delicious and moreish lunch or dinner. I used Hokkaido pumpkin as you don't need to peel off the skin, which is packed with beta-carotene. If you use thick skin pumpkins, you will have to peel them first before roasting.

 
  • 1.2 kg Organic Hokkaido pumpkin, deseeded, cut into 2cm-thick wedges
  • 5 tbsp Olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly milled black pepper
  • 2 Spring onions
  • 1 Red chilli pepper
  • 1 log x 125 g Fresh goat cheese (or Feta)
  • 6 Ripe, but firm figs, quartered
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Wash the pumpkin, core, and cut into wedges with a sharp knife. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread them on a baking tray. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Bake the pumpkin wedges in the middle of hot oven for about 35-40 minutes or until tender.
  3. Meanwhile, wash and clean the spring onions and cut into fine rings. Clean the chilli, cut lengthways, wash and remove the seeds. Cut the chilli into thin strips.
  4. Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over a low-medium heat. Sauté the spring onions and chilli for 5 minutes and remove from the heat. Roughly crumble the goat cheese. Wash and quarter the figs.
  5. Remove the pumpkin from the oven. Arrange the figs, pumpkin wedges and cheese on a platter. Drizzle with spring onion and chilli oil.

Looks like a nice dressing for the roast! I bought some spring onions this morning myself and last of the nectarines whose season is over sadly. No tangerines yet even though it is already autumn in a few days.

What a wonderful dish for fall! Roasted pumpkin sounds very appealing to me. Do you know, I have never in my life eaten a fig. I’m not sure why, but I haven’t. I’m almost afraid to try them.

Such a beautiful recipe — and by coincidence, I’m working on a salad for the first weekend in October with pumpkin and goat cheese. I love how we can use the same ingredients so differently!

Would use thin-skin pumpkin too, so don't have to peel :p
