Method

  1. Set the oven to fairly hot, Gas Mark 6 or 200°C. Scoop the seeds out of the marrow and place the halves in a large baking dish or roasting tin, cut-side up. Sprinkle with the fennel seeds and the seasoning, and add the crushed garlic and then 1 tablespoon of oil.
  2. Put the onion, sweet potato and red pepper into the dish, too. Sprinkle with the rest of the oil. Roast in oven for 30 minutes, then turn the vegetables and continue cooking for another 20 minutes.
  3. Spoon the sweet potato, onion and pepper into the marrow halves. Sprinkle with pine nuts and sesame seeds, and put back in the oven for 10-15 minutes, to brown the seeds. Sprinkle with a little more oil, and fresh mint leaves, for serving.
