OVEN-ROASTED Chicken
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Chicken pieces and the onion wedges on a roasting tray. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 30-35 minutes.
PUMPKIN MASH
Spread the pumpkin pieces on a separate roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Place the roasted pumpkin in a bowl with a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork and cover.

In a bowl, toss the cauliflower pieces with a drizzle of oil and seasoning. When the Chicken has 20 minutes remaining, scatter the dressed cauliflower over the tray with the chicken and roast for the remaining time.
TOASTY SEEDS
