Instructions
- Prep Pumpkin: Quarter the pumpkin with a sharp knife then gut out the seeds with a spoon. Peel the skins, then slice each quarter into wedges. Depending on size you should get 4 wedges per quarter.
- Roast: On a large baking tray combine pumpkin with olive oil, honey, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and salt & pepper. Roast in the oven at 200C/390F for 25-30mins, or until very lightly charred and soft through the centre. Timings with depend on size and thickness of pumpkin wedges so just be vigilant.
- Sandwich: Spread 1 heaped tbsp hummus over one slice of bread. Top with 1/2 tbsp pine nuts and a few pinches of crumbled feta. Top with rocket/arugula then add onion slices. Lay over pumpkin wedges (approx 4 per sandwich) then finish with a second slice of bread. Enjoy!

Notes
a) Pumpkin - You can use pre-sliced pumpkin if you want, it works out to be approx 1lb/500g once the pumpkin is peeled/gutted. You can simply roast the pumpkin in olive oil and s&p, but I do recommend the extra goodies for some bonus flavour!
b) Rocket/Arugula - If you want to spruce up this sandwich further consider tossing the rocket/arugula in a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. This will not only add flavour, but will also add a bit of moisture.
c) Toasted Pine Nuts - Just add them to a dry pan over low heat and gently fry until they become very lightly charred and fragrant. Careful, they burn very quickly!
