It’s official! This delicious healthy roast pumpkin recipe is our FAVOURITE thing at the moment! We are even adding it to our CHOCOLATE BROWNIES! Yahuh, capital letters required. You may know us as sweet potato lovers (especially chips) but we’ve seriously cut our carb intake down as we’ve stopped exercising so much (this is a long story and definitely requires a dedicated blog post!).
Instead, we’ve been cooking up a roast pumpkin storm and enjoying all of the healthy benefits!
Did you know that…
- Pumpkin is an awesome anti-inflammatory food (all of our goals should be to reduce inflammation in our bodies!).
- Pumpkin is a good source of fibre, makes us regular, gets ride of toxins.
- Pumpkin boosts immunity and clears skin because it has zinc. Boom!
- Pumpkin seeds are high in magnesium, omega 3, fibre and protein which means healthy joints, skin, brains, hearts.
- Pumpkin is so delicious and versatile… but if eaten too much your hands may turn orange! True story.
The best thing about this recipe is that it’s so easy peasy, looks great and tastes even better! It goes perfectly with our coconut cheese burgers or slowed cooked pulled pork,
Always merrymaking,
Emma + Carla
