Cut the pumpkin in half right next to the stem and scooping out the seeds. Next, cut each section in half once again, and peel using a vegetable peeler. Now peel each segment using a knife or vegetable peeler, and cube it into bite-sized pieces.
1 medium pumpkin
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 degrees F and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
Transfer the cubed pumpkin to the baking tray, followed by carrots and the red onion. Drizzle them with olive oil, also seasoning with ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. Remove the very top off a garlic bulb, and spray it with cooking spray before wrapping in foil and placing next to the vegetables.
1 medium pumpkin, 2 medium carrots, 2 large red onions, 1 bulb garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper
Roast the vegetables for an hour, until softened and caramelised.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze out the garlic from the garlic bulb, and also add coconut milk, turmeric, cumin, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and vegetable stock. Blend until very smooth.
