« SCROLL PHOTOS LEFT TO RIGHT »

Introducing this week's new recipe, roast pumpkin with miso butter and toasted sesame seeds, a side dish that is both super easy and delicious to make with such minimal ingredients.

The miso brings the perfect salty umami flavour that pairs brilliantly with the sweet pumpkin and the nutty sesame seeds. You have to try this one, it’s truly so good!

This dish is perfect for any meal, from a quick weekday dinner to a dinner party or gathering.

I love to use Japanese Pumpkin/Kabocha squash because of its creamy texture and sweetness but feel free to use whatever type of pumpkin variety you have on hand, such as Butternut.

Hope you love the recipe, and as always please let me know if you make it @gatherandfeast, and feel free to ask any questions.
