Description

A delicious roasted pumpkin dish served with a creamy yogurt sauce and topped with toasted pine nuts.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pumpkin, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the pumpkin cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned pumpkin in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and lightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
  5. While the pumpkin is roasting, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and honey until smooth.
  6. Once the pumpkin is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  7. To serve, place the roasted pumpkin on a serving platter, drizzle with the yogurt sauce, and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley.

Notes

  • For added flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the yogurt sauce for some heat.
  • You can also substitute the pine nuts with toasted walnuts or almonds for a different texture and taste.
