Ingredients:

Roasted pumpkin:

½ tsp ground coriander
1 tsp hot paprika powder
1 small Hokkaido pumpkin 750 grams/ 1.6 pounds
⅛ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp turmeric powder
3-4 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves
½ tsp fine sea salt more to taste
1 tsp ground cumin

Yogurt tahini dip:

1 tsp za’atar
fine sea salt
1 tbsp tahini
lemon juice to taste
1 garlic clove
pepper
⅔ c Greek yogurt

Directions:

Prepare the oven and preheat it to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F.

Line the inside of a baking tray with parchment paper.

Wash the pumpkin under running water, then use paper towels to pat it dry. Slice it into half.

Cut each slice of the pumpkin into wedges and remove the seeds. Put them into a large bowl.

Add all the spices, salt, pepper, and grated garlic into a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Stir in the olive oil until well blended.

Transfer the spice mixture into the bowl with the pumpkin wedges, then toss to coat. Allow the pumpkin wedges to marinate for a few minutes.

Transfer the pumpkin wedges onto a baking tray and spread them evenly.

Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until soft. Remove from the oven.

In a mixing bowl, add lemon juice, salt, pepper, grated garlic clove, Greek yogurt, za’atar, and tahini. Stir everything until well blended.

Serve the roasted pumpkin with the delicious tahini sauce. Enjoy
