Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs pumpkin (peeled and cubed)
  • 1½ cups cooked chickpeas
  • 1 can coconut milk (full fat)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garam masala
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss pumpkin cubes with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, and garam masala. Roast on parchment-lined baking sheet for about 25 minutes until tender.
