Cooking Steps

Roast the pumpkin
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Slice pumpkin into thin wedges.
• Place pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with 
olive oil, sprinkle with garlic & herb seasoning 
and season with salt. Toss to coat.

3

• Place snacking tomatoes, onion and 
cauliflower on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle 
with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. 
• Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. 

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat.

couscous tender and water is absorbed, 
10-12 minutes. 

Bring it all together

tomatoes, cauliflower, onion and a drizzle of 
balsamic vinegar to the pan.
• Toss to coat and season to taste with salt
and pepper
