Charred Pumpkin Breakfast Tortillas

Cook Time 45 minutes

Servings 4

Ingredients

400g butternut pumpkin, skin on, roughly diced into small chunks

2 tbsp coconut oil

½ tsp salt

2 tbsp sesame seeds, lightly toasted

Lemon wedges, to serve

Crispy tortillas

100g (1 cup) almond meal

125g (1 cup) arrowroot or tapioca flour 125ml (1/2 cup) coconut milk

125ml (1/2 cup) filtered water, plus extra if needed

½ tsp sea salt

3–4 tbsp coconut oil

Herby avocado dressing

1 avocado, peeled and smashed

1 large handful flat-leaf parsley leaves roughly chopped

125ml (1/2 cup) extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

zest and juice of 1 lemon

1/2 tsp salt

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Coat your pumpkin well with the coconut oil, season well with the salt and spread evenly across your prepared baking tray, giving each chunk space to get crispy without too much overlapping. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges and soft in the middle.

While your pumpkin is cooking, get on with the tortillas. Combine the almond meal, arrowroot flour, coconut milk, water and salt in a bowl and mix well to form a smooth thin batter. (The more watery the batter, the thinner and crispier your tortillas will be, so add a splash or two more if you like).

Melt 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil in a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Ladle a quarter of the batter into the pan, tilting and swirling it to coat the base in an even layer, and cook for 2–3 minutes, then carefully turn the tortilla over with a spatula and cook for a further 2 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Lift the tortilla from the pan and set aside wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining mixture, greasing the pan with a little extra coconut oil in between tortillas to make sure they don’t stick to the pan.

For the herby avocado dressing, put all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy.

To serve, divide the tortillas among plates, spoon over the roasted pumpkin, drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle over the toasted sesame seeds and fresh parsley.
