Sweet aminos glazed pumpkin wedges

Naomi Sherman

Gloriously rich and sweet, these caramelised pumpkin wedges are topped with a luscious dollop of melty homemade vegan mozzarella.

Ingredients

SERVES: 6

SWEET AMINOS GLAZE

MOZZARELLA

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Make the glaze by whisking all the ingredients together in a small jug.
  3. Slice the pumpkin into wedges, lay them out on a lined tray, and drizzle the glaze over the top, making sure to give them a good coating.
  4. Roast the pumpkin for 20–40 minutes, depending on the thickness of your wedges. Carefully turn the wedges over and brush with the glaze halfway through cooking.
  5. Meanwhile, make the mozzarella. Drain the soaked cashews and then place in a high-speed blender with all the other mozzarella ingredients. Blend until smooth and well-combined.
  6. Pour the blended liquid into a saucepan and heat over medium heat. The mozzarella will go lumpy before it suddenly turns smooth and silky, so just keep stirring. Keep warm until ready to use, stirring occasionally.
  7. De-stem the kale and tear into rough pieces. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the kale, tossing until wilted and dark.
  8. To serve; place some kale on each plate and then top with the glazed pumpkin wedges. Dollop some warm mozzarella over the top and finish with a scattering of pepitas.

TIP: I like to toast my pepitas for an extra nutty crunch.
