This week's recipe is a delicious roast pumpkin side infused with smoky paprika and roasted garlic.
The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity - it's easy to make and can be paired with almost anything. I especially love to serve it with roast chicken and a variety of sides, but feel free to get creative with your choices.
What's great about this dish is that it's versatile enough to be served warm straight from the oven, or at room temperature if you need to prepare it ahead of time. It's elegant and sophisticated, yet the combination of flavours is also approachable and suitable for everyday cooking.
Hope you love this one, and as always please let me know if you make the recipe @gatherandfeast, and feel free to ask any questions. Enjoy!
