Ingredients

Pumpkin

Garlic

Thyme

2 sachet

Light cooking cream

4 packet

Parmesan cheese

4 packet

Panko breadcrumbs

1 packet

Olive oil

1 drizzle

Butter

40 g

Flour

2 tbs

Preparation

Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
Cut pumpkin into 1 cm-thick wedges.
In a large baking dish, place pumpkin. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then roast until just tender, 15 minutes.

TIP: Peel the pumpkin, if you prefer, and scrape out the seeds, if necessary!

Pick thyme leaves. Finely chop garlic.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the butter, thyme and garlic until fragrant, 1 minute.
Add the plain flour and cook, stirring, until a thick paste forms, 2 minutes.
Remove pan from heat, then slowly whisk in cream until smooth.
Stir through half the Parmesan cheese and season.

Pour sauce over pumpkin in the baking dish. Sprinkle with panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and the remaining Parmesan and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake pumpkin gratin until golden and bubbling, 10-15 minutes.
