Roast Pumpkin with Smokey Paprika, Roasted Garlic & Natural Yoghurt

Ingredients

Gluten free, Vegetarian
20 minutes preparation time + 1 hour cooking time
6
  • 1⁄2 a small Japanese pumpkin/kabocha squash (you could also use butternut pumpkin)
  • 1 tablespoon smokey paprika
  • 1 small fresh garlic clove
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup thick unsweetened Greek yoghurt
  • Flakey sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C/375°F.
  2. Cut the pumpkin into slices roughly 2-3cm thick, keeping the skin on.
  3. Next, place the pumpkin onto a large paper-lined tray.
  4. Drizzle the pumpkin with olive oil and sprinkle with the smokey paprika and a generous pinch of salt, then toss to coat.
  5. Arrange the pumpkin in a single layer on the tray and place into the oven for roughly 1 hour, or until golden and crisp on the edges.
  6. While the pumpkin is cooking, crush or finely grate the fresh clove of garlic into the yoghurt. 
  7. Now add a pinch of salt to taste, mix well then set aside.
  8. Once the pumpkin is cooked remove it from the oven and arrange it onto a serving dish.
  9. Drizzle the pumpkin with the garlic yoghurt, a tiny sprinkle of smokey paprika, and a generous sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper.
  10. Serve and enjoy!
