Wedges of pumpkin are caressed with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a dust of cinnamon, which intensifies their spectacular flavor. The pumpkin is then rested over a bed of baby spinach and dressed with generous spoonfuls of lush yogurt and tahini dressing. The finishing touch is a scattering of ruby pomegranate jewels [rich in vitamin C](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/wellbeing/diet/3337633/Super-foods-pomegranate.html) and freshly chopped garden herbs that make this a truly amazing pleasure to eat. It’s a meal that makes a great side to oven roasted salmon or can easily be enjoyed on it’s own boosted with black beans dressed with lemon, olive oil and a hint of chilli. This recipe can be found on my [Healthy Chef App](https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1019047858?mt=8), and is also wonderful as a nourishing afternoon snack straight out of the fridge. Any leftover roasted pumpkin can be used to make a pumpkin spice smoothie or thrown into a hash for breakfast. **WHAT’S GREAT ABOUT IT:** Pumpkin is a great source of beta-carotene, which help support a [healthy immune system](http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/21/health/health-benefits-of-pumpkin/index.html).
