Roasted Pumpkin, Cauliflower & Sumac Salad

Prep: 20 mins Cook: 40 mins
Serves: 3-4

Ingredients

  • 1.4kg pumpkin, peeled and cut into 3 cm cubes
  • 1 small cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 x 400 g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp sumac
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 cup Cyclops 1% Thick & Creamy yoghurt
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts
  • 2 tbsp sliced almonds
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a large baking tray.
  2. Place the pumpkin, cauliflower and chickpeas in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, sumac, salt and pepper until well coated. Spread out on the tray in a single layer and roast for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and tender.
  3. While the vegetables roast, mix all yogurt sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Set aside to allow the flavours to develop.
  4. Toast the pine nuts, sliced almonds and sumac in a dry pan over medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove immediately and set aside.
  5. To serve, pile the roasted vegetables onto a platter. Spoon over the yogurt sauce, then finish with the toasted nuts and plenty of chopped parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.
