For a tasty meal that looks great, our stuffed pumpkin will have your mouth watering.

We make the stuffing with a secret ingredient – our fan favourite Sourdough Vienna – then mix it together with sautéd onions, apple, craisins, bacon, lemon rind and more. The result is a sweet and savoury stuffing that gets roasted to perfection, pairing beautifully with the mini pumpkins. Top it with melted cheese and you’re ready to go.

What flavours go well with pumpkin?

Pumpkin is versatile and pairs well with lots of different flavours depending on what you’re making. For savoury dishes and dinners, try adding flavours like cumin, chilli, or cayenne pepper, nuts, cheeses, mushrooms, potatoes and sour cream. For sweet treats try cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate, honey, or brown sugar. 

Can you eat pumpkin skin?

Yes you can eat pumpkin skin, and like other fruits and vegetables, the skin is the most nutritious part. If you’re roasting your pumpkins, the skin will go soft and sometimes crispy so it’s easy to eat. For something like a puree, stick to using only the flesh of the pumpkin as this will produce a sweeter end result.

Why is my roast pumpkin soggy?

If you’re roasting pumpkin and it goes soggy, it’s probably because you’ve had the pieces sitting too close together on the baking tray. For the best results, don’t overcrowd your pumpkin.
