Crusty Pumpkin Wedges🌿

This recipe for crusty pumpkin wedges from Ottolenghi Plenty is both easy, delicious and impressive looking. As with all recipes, I like to add my own modifications in the Fresh Connection family kitchen to suit our lifestyle 💫

In my case, I wash all the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin and add them to the baking tray with the crumbed wedges. I also prefer to make my own breadcrumbs using wholegrain bread.

My favourite pumpkin is always Jap, also known as Kent, which has ribbed, grey-green mottled skin and a nutty, deep yellow flesh, but you can use whatever you like. It does breakdown a lot quicker than other pumpkins, so you have to keep an eye on it in the oven, but it's definitely sweeter.

You can serve with yoghurt, sour creme, tzatziki, tahini, or harissa. Serve with your favourite salad and protein dishes.
