Charred Pumpkin Breakfast Tortillas
Ingredients
Makes
- 400 g butternut pumpkin, unpeeled, roughly diced into small chunks
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 Tbsp sesame seeds, lightly roasted
- lemon wedges, to serve
- 100 g almond meal
- 125 g arrowroot or tapioca flour
- 125 ml coconut milk
- 125 ml filtered water, plus extra if needed
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 3-4 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 avocado, smashed
- 1 large handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
- 125 ml olive oil
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius
- Coat pumpkin well with coconut oil, season with salt and spread evenly over tray. Bake for about 30 mins or until golden brown around edges and soft in the middle.
- While pumpkin is cooking, combine almond meal, arrowroot or tapioca flour, coconut milk, water and salt in a bowl and mix well to form smooth thin batter. The more watery the mix, the thinner and crisper the tortilla.
- Melt 1 Tbsp of coconut oil in small frying pan over medium heat. Ladle quarter of batter into pan and swirl to coat base in an even layer. Cook for 2-3 mins, then turn and cook for a further 2 mins or until golden and cooked through. Wrap in clean tea towel to keep warm and repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.
- For herby avocado dressing, put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy.
- Divide the tortillas among plates, spoon over the roasted pumpkin, drizzle with dressing and sprinkle over toasted sesame seeds. Serve with lemon wedges.
