Free Healthy Recipe - Roast pumpkin sesame and soy salad

Dairy free, Gluten free, Low sugar, Wheat Free

For a simple Autumn/Winter warm salad it's hard to beat this one. Pumpkin may have a high GI but the glycemic load is low due to it's high water content. What does that mean in simple terms? It's low in carbs compared to potato and sweet potato, it is packed full of beta carotene and is a good source of fibre - when you leave the skin on.

Ingredients

800 grams jap pumpkin, cut into 5 cm pieces, skin left on

4 cloves purple garlic, skin left on

2 tbs olive oil

1 tbs sesame oil
