1 bunch (250g) baby carrots, scrubbed, larger carrots halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 stalks green curly kale
8 eggs whisked with ½ cup trim milk
75g feta, crumbled
1 tablespoon basil pesto
2 tablespoons small basil leaves

1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place pumpkin and carrots on prepared tray. Drizzle with half of the oil, season with pepper. Bake for 20 minutes.

2 In a medium cast-iron or ovenproof frying pan, heat 2 teaspoons of the remaining oil over medium. Sauté the garlic and kale for 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
