Ingredients

  • 1 Kabocha Squash or use your favourite variety
  • Olive Oil for drizzling
  • 25 g Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 30 g Parmesan grated
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoon Chopped Fresh Thyme plus extra sprigs for garnish
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Pomegranate Seeds to serve
  • 70 g Rocket to serve
  • ½ Lemon juiced

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F. Slice the squash into wedges.
  • Drizzle the bottom of a large baking dish with olive oil. Mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic powder, thyme and a generous helping of salt and pepper.
  • Brush the squash with olive oil. Spread the breadcrumb mixture on a plate and then press the cut sides of the squash into the mixture to get them coated in the cheesy breadcrumbs. Place in the baking dish and repeat with each piece.
  • Drizzle with a little more olive oil then place in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the squash is tender. Toss the rocket with lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil then place on a serving platter. Top with the roasted squash and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds.
