Roasted with a healthy sprinkle of our all-American spice blend, tonight's hearty butternut pumpkin & chicken boasts the perfect balance of sweet and savoury flavours. Juicy bursts of charred sweetcorn make a welcome addition to the fragrant and fluffy rice, while the herby chimichurri and parsley really makes the dish sing.

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut butternut pumpkin into thin wedges. • Place pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with All-American spice blend and season with salt. Toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drain sweetcorn. • Finely chop garlic.
• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and the plant-based butter and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are “popping” out.
• Add basmati rice, vegetable stock powder, the water and a generous pinch of salt to the pan. Stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. • Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes. • Meanwhile, cut chicken into 2cm chunks. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• When the rice is ready, stir through baby spinach leaves and chicken through the rice, until wilted.
• Divide corn rice between bowls. Top with All-American roast pumpkin. • Top pumpkin with a dollop of plant-based aioli and a drizzle of chimichurri sauce. • Sprinkle with flaked almonds. Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
