Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This year I had the honor of getting the whopping amount of one pumpkin on my pumpkin plant! Luckily I had another plant, but same story, just the one pumpkin.
I don’t know what happend, but apparently my pumpkins just didn’t want to produce more than one per plant.

Nevertheless, I was glad to have them and I have made 2 delicious dishes with them. One savoury (this one) and one sweet (Pumpkin Semifreddo, which you can find here). This one is more of a peasant dish and the semifreddo is a bit more fancy, but only if you plate it as such.

I also had some beetroot that I needed to make a dish with. And since I love the combination of beetroot (beets) and pumpkin, I quickly knew what I wanted to make for dinner that night.

This recipe is vegetarian, but you can easily make it vegan by omitting the feta cheese, or choose a vegan alternative that you like. We eat this as our dinner, so as a main dish. But it’s so versatile you can also eat it as a side dish or a lunch. It keeps well & can be eaten hot or cold the next day.

So lets get in the kitchen and make this roasted pumpkin and beetroot dish!
