Ingredients
  

  • 800 g pumpkin
  • A pinch of salt and pepper
  • A pinch of sumac
  • A pinch of dry rosemary or parsley
  • Olive oil
  • 1 can of chickpeas
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • Tahini yogurt
  • 4 heaped tbsp vegan greek style yogurt
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • A pinch of salt
  • Garnish
  • 1/3 cup Toasted pine nuts
  • Fresh parsley
  • Olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Peel and chop the pumpkin into bite-sized chunks, then spread them out on a baking tray.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, sumac, and dried rosemary or parsley, and toss to coat.
  • Roast for 30-35 minutes until they’re golden and tender.
  • Drain and rinse your chickpeas, then pat them dry (this helps them crisp up).
  • Toss them on another baking tray with olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of salt.
  • Roast alongside the pumpkin for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they’re crispy and golden. Swap the pumpkin and chickpea tray a few times so they cook evenly.
  • In a small bowl, mix the vegan greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  • Heat a small dry pan over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast, stirring often, until golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on them—they burn fast!
  • Put It All Together:
  • Grab a big serving plate and spread the yogurt on it.
  • Add the roasted pumpkin and chickpeas on it.
  • Sprinkle over the toasted pine nuts and fresh parsley.
  • Finish with a little drizzle of olive oil for good measure.
