Roasted butternut pumpkin

Season for pumpkins is one of my favourite seasons. I love taste of pumpkin cakes, muffins, soups. Powerful orange colour of pumpkins gives me extra positive energy for a day. Since I had a chance yesterday to buy a wonderful butternut pumpkin directly from a farm, today I would like to share with you a recipe for roasted pumpkin. Perfect meal for two people- great lunch idea.

Ingredients:

-        1 butternut pumpkin

-        1 tablespoon of oil (ex. olive oil)

-        1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, cinnamon and cayenne pepper

-        salt and pepper to taste + black sesame seeds to decorate 

How to do it?

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Cut butternut pumpkin in half and scrape out seeds. Then cut pumpkin in smaller pieces. Drizzle pumpkin with oil and season with spices. Place pumpkin pieces on a baking sheet. Roast around 40 minutes (until pumpkin is soft). I served my pumpkin with cooked beetroot. 

Easy and tasty. Bon appétit !
