Cooking instructions

  • 1.

    Preheat the oven to 180°C to roast the pumpkin. While it heats up, get the pumpkin ready.

  • 2.

    Cut the small pumpkin in half, remove the seeds and fibers, and peel off the skin.

  • 3.

    Drizzle the pumpkin with oil and bake it in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until it’s soft and fully cooked.

  • 4.

    Let the pumpkin to cool after baking. I typically roast it in the evening so I can use it for breakfast or lunch the following day.

    Slice the cooled pumpkin into small chunks and place them on a plate.

  • 6.

    Cut half an orange into small pieces and arrange them over the pumpkin.

    Thinly slice the Parmesan cheese using a vegetable peeler to create neat, delicate slices. Scatter them over the orange.

  • 8.

    Chop the cashews into small pieces with a knife and sprinkle them over the dish to add extra crunch and flavor.

  • 9.

    Drizzle honey over the dish to taste, enhancing its sweetness and fragrance.
