Ingredients

PUMPKIN

1 small pumpkin or butternut squash (1 kg in total)

1.5 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Salt & pepper

15g pumpkin seeds

DAIRY-FREE CHILI YOGURT

100g plain coconut yogurt

1½ tsp Everiday House Chili Sauce

1 tsp lemon juice

Pinch of salt

CORIANDER DRIZZLE

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

50g coriander, leaves, and stalks, plus extra leaves to garnish

1 small garlic clove, crushed

Good pinch of salt

Instructions

1

DONE!

Preheat the oven to 200 °C/400 °F

2

DONE!

Cut the squash/pumpkin into 2cm-thick wedges with the skin on.

3

DONE!

Place the pumpkin/squash in a large bowl with the cinnamon, 1.5 tbsp of olive oil or avocado oil, and salt, and pepper. Mix well so that the squash is evenly coated.

4

DONE!

Place the squash/pumpkin on a lined baking tray, skin side down, and roast for 30 – 40 minutes, until soft and starting to color on top. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

5

DONE!

While your veg is roasting, make the dressings and toast your pumpkin seeds.

6

DONE!

To make the coriander drizzle, place the coriander, garlic, 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and a generous pinch of salt in a small food processor, blend to form a paste. Reserve for later

7

DONE!

In a small pan, toast your pumpkin seeds on a medium-low flame. You will hear them pop and they will start to brown. They can burn easily, so keep an eye on them

DONE!

When you are ready to serve, swirl together the almond or cashew yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and Everiday chili sauce.

9

DONE!

Lay the squash/pumpkin wedges on a platter, drizzle over the spicy yogurt sauce, and then the coriander drizzle.

Scatter the pumpkin seeds on top, followed by the extra coriander leaves, and serve.

    If you aren't dairy-free, you can use regular yogurt and omit the lemon juice and salt from the chili yogurt ingredients.
