A delicious and easy recipe for roasted pumpkin served with a creamy yogurt sauce and topped with toasted pine nuts.
Ingredients
- 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 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- 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 for 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and lightly caramelized, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
