Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 240°C. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Combine the olive oil, garlic, thyme and orange rind in a small bowl. Arrange pumpkin on 1 lined tray and the cauliflower and beetroot on the remaining tray. Brush vegetables with oil mixture and season. Roast the pumpkin for 30-35 mins or until caramelised and tender, adding the cauliflower and beetroot for the last 25 mins of cooking. Set aside for 10 mins to cool slightly.
  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, combine the ricotta and extra virgin olive oil in a food processor and process until smooth. Season.
  3. Step 3

    To make the whole lemon dressing, finely chop half the lemon. Juice the remaining half. Combine shallot, lemon, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl. Stir in the oil and season.
  4. Step 4

    Arrange vegetables and extra orange on a serving platter. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with pistachio. Serve with ricotta mixture.
