Instructions
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 200C and lining a baking tray. Drizzle your pumpkin or squash pieces in 1-2 tbsp of olive oil, then season. Add a touch of spice, if desired (we used 1 tsp paprika). Place in the oven to roast until golden and slightly caramelised (around 20 minutes) - check after 15 minutes of cooking.
Step 2
As the pumpkin cooks, prepare your dressing by whisking all ingredients together, adding water until you get the consistency you desire (we added about 5 tbsp). Remove the cooked pumpkin from the oven and set aside.
Step 3
Serve warm topped with pomegranate seeds and drizzled with the tahini dressing.
Step 4
Heat some oil in a pan, then toss in the kale, pecans, pumpkin seeds and cooked rice. Cook, stirring often, until the kale starts to wilt and begins to crisp. Toss in the spinach and cooked pumpkin and heat for a further 30 seconds or so. Season to taste.
