Cheesy Bacon Butternut Pumpkin

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C. Chop the butternut pumpkin into 1cm pieces. In a large ovenproof dish, toss the butternut pumpkin with olive oil, garlic and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle bacon over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the butternut is tender and the bacon is cooked through.

Remove from oven and top with mozzarella and parmesan. Bake for another 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.

Top with chilli flakes if using and serve warm.
