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
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the pumpkin cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned pumpkin in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and lightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- While the pumpkin is roasting, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and honey until smooth.

- 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.
