Spiced-Roasted Pumpkin with Coconut Yogurt
An inspired plant-based meal that's easy to make with simple ingredients.
.
The boredom of comfort food increases creativity in the kitchen. When I get bored of my sweet potatoes for my daily meal, I look to pumpkins.
In Indonesia, we can get pumpkin stock every day. There is no specific season for pumpkins.
Behind The Recipe
Usually, I only use pumpkin to make cakes. Then I searched the recipes on the internet for a while and adjusted the ingredients that I had in the kitchen.
I just have a few vegetables that are great to combine. There are baby corns, carrots, green beans.
So, I decided to make a “spiced-roasted pumpkin” serving with coconut yogurt and stir-fried veggies.
There are many ways to serve pumpkin for the main course with a variety of selected spices. Here I am using only ground cinnamon which I think is the most suitable spice to go with pumpkins.
Follow how I prepare this meal. Stay tuned!
The Ingredients
- 500 grams of pumpkin, unpeeled
- 50 ml of vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
For Serving
- Coconut Yogurt
- Stir-fried Veggies, tailored to the vegetables of your choice.
Here I use a mixture of baby corn, carrot, and green beans. I cook them with simple spices, red onion, red chili, garlic, pepper, and salt.
Cooking Instructions
- Step 1
First, prepare the pumpkin for baking, and don't forget to preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius.
Wash the pumpkin thoroughly before cutting. Then cut into wedges.
- Step 2
- Step 3
Dip the pumpkin wedges in the oil and ground cinnamon mixture. Or grease the pumpkin using a brush until it is completely coated on all sides of the pumpkin.
- Step 4
Roast the pumpkin for about 40 minutes. But it depends on your oven. If the pumpkin is not yet cooked, you can increase the roasting time by another 10-20 minutes by turning the pumpkin pieces over.
- Step 5
While the pumpkin is roasting, I prepare stir-fried vegetables. Prepare chopped red onion, garlic, and red chili slices, as well as vegetables that will be sauteed.
Heat the oil. Saute chopped red onion, garlic, and red chili slices. Once fragrant, add the vegetables. Add a little water and a teaspoon of salt.
Cook until the veggies are cooked.
Serving Time
The Spiced-Roasted Pumpkin is done. It's so beautiful and juicy! Perfect!
Honestly, this is my first time cooking Spiced-Roasted Pumpkin and I am amazed by how juicy and fragrant they are!
Time to prepare a serving plate and some props for my food shoots.
Added Spiced-Roasted Pumpkin to A Serving Plate
This will be a filling portion of my plate. I added 4 pumpkin wedges to the serving plate.
It feels so tortured to wait to eat them. I have to finish this food shoot first.
Added Stir-Fried Veggies
I decided to add chunks of greens between the pumpkin wedges.
This method is to make the plate look neat and have an impression with a certain shape.
I love the color components on my serving plate this time.
Added Coconut Yogurt
I don't just add the coconut yogurt on the surface of the pumpkin and veggies.
I put coconut yogurt in a small container, I also happen to have a yellow-colored container.
I put the container filled with coconut yogurt on the top side of the whole meal.
Nom-Nom! Say Yes to Coconut Yogurt
You can use other types of yogurt or you can add cream or even mashed avocado.
To add a little detail so that the plating doesn't get monotonous, I added a few slices of carrots.
About Texture and Taste
The combination of the Spiced-Roasted Pumpkin and the veggies I have looks good. Especially since I have baby corn.
Some people don't like roasted pumpkin because it's a mushy texture. That's why these vegetable stir fry can enhance the nice texture of this dish.
The fragrances of ground cinnamon and coconut are quite a good starting point to lift your mood.
See you again in my next recipe. Don't forget to leave feedback and thank you for your support!

This food is a work of art, and I suspect that it was delicious. I am surprised to see how you make art with such everyday and simple things as food. I loved the use of coconut, which should give it a unique freshness, plus the little ears of corn look very tender and delicious. I really congratulate you on your work, you have done exceptionally well. I like the way you present the recipe, the step by step, all the comments you make regarding its preparation and the photos are great. A great greeting.
Esta comida, es una obra de arte, e intuyo que quedó deliciosa. Me sorprende ver cómo haces arte con cosas tan cotidianas y sencillas como es la comida. Me encantó el uso del coco, que le debe dar una frescura única, además, las pequeñas mazorcas de maíz se ven muy tiernas y deliciosas. Realmente te felicito por tu trabajo, lo has hecho excepcionalmente bien. Me gusta la forma en que presentas la receta, el paso a paso, todos los comentarios que haces respecto a su preparación y las fotos están geniales. Un gran saludo.
Honestly, before I go to sleep, I always think of the new recipe for the next day. I have to think hard because I just have ordinary ingredients. So I have to be more creative to make my plate is aesthetic.
Thank you so much for reading. Have a great day!
OMG that looks delicious! I just bought a big pumpkin squash. I normally make pumpkin squash bread with coconut but I think I'ma gonna make this one instead. Thanks for posting.
You can use the half of pumpkin for the dinner or breakfast. For half, it can be for 3-4 serving plate. And you can use the rest of pumpkin to make bread.

It's good to do something special with pumpkin, especially if it's something you eat very often. We used to get free pumpkins almost every day at our old place, and we nearly ran out of cooking ideas. This dish looks really appealing, and the fresh stir-fry compliments it very well.
Thanks @anggreklestari for sharing this with us.
