Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut pumpkin
- 10-12 fresh sage leaves
- 25g unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp Capilano Honey
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
- Sea salt flakes and cracked pepper
- 65g hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 whole garlic bulb, halved
- Preheat oven to 180°C (fan forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Slice pumpkin in half lengthways, remove seeds with a spoon and peel skin with a potato peeler. Place pumpkin halves cut side down on a chopping board and slice across the pumpkin, taking care not to cut all the way to the board. Repeat down the length of the pumpkin approx. 3-5mm apart. TIP: Use a chopstick placed either side of the pumpkin half to stop your knife so it doesn’t cut all the way through.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, Dijon and thyme leaves, mix well. Place pumpkin on a prepared oven tray and brush with honey mixture. Insert sage leaves into some of the cuts in the pumpkin halves and sprinkle both halves with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 50 minutes, then top the pumpkins with the hazelnuts and bake for a further 5 minutes until the hazelnuts are golden and the pumpkin is fork-tender.
