Ingredients

800 g butternut pumpkin, diced into 3-4 cm sized cubes/chunks

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons arrowroot flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon chilli powder

Pink rock salt, to season

ZESTY LIME DIPPING SAUCE

2 large ripe avocados, peeled and seed removed

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt

1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander or parsley

2 cloves garlic, minced

Juice and zest of 2 limes

Pink rock salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  • Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • In a bowl, add the diced pumpkin, and coat well with the olive oil. Use your hands to get all-over coverage. Add the arrowroot flour and spices and use your hands to get all over even coverage on the pumpkin.
  • Lay your pumpkin out on a tray (you may need two) leaving space between each piece so they go crispy. Transfer to the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy on the outside and cooked through.
  • This is a good time to get onto your zesty lime dipping sauce. Add all ingredients for the zesty lime dipping sauce to a high-powered blender or food processor and blitz until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Season with a pinch of salt and serve alongside your zesty lime dipping sauce.
