    • 2 tbs apple cider vinegar
    • 2 tsp coconut sugar
    • 1 tsp ground ginger
    • 1/2 tsp turmeric
    • 1/4 tsp sea salt

    Quinoa Bowl:

    • 1 cup quinoa uncooked (+2 cups water)
    • 1/2 tsp cumin seed

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 400°F.
    • Cut pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds (set aside seeds to roast later), and then slice pumpkin into wedges.
    • In a small bowl combine oil, vinegar, sugar, ginger, turmeric and salt. Whisk well.
    • Place your pumpkin wedges onto a greased or parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
    • Drizzle wedges with 1/4 cup of dressing. Reserve the rest for later.
    • Roast pumpkin wedges for 30 minutes or until the edges are beginning to brown and the pumpkin is fork-tender.
    • Remove pumpkin from the oven and let cool while you prepare the quinoa.
    • In a medium saucepan on high heat add quinoa and spices. Let toast for 1-2 minutes.
    • Pour in 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, cover, reduce to simmer for 15 minutes, (or according to package directions). When all water is absorbed, turn off heat and let sit covered while your prepare your roasted pumpkin.
    • When your pumpkin wedges are cool enough to handle, gently peel off the skin, and chop roasted pumpkin into cubes for your quinoa bowl.
    • In a small bowl whisk together sriracha and coconut oil. Set aside.
    • When ready to serve, to a bowl add a healthy portion of quinoa, top with roasted pumpkin cubes, sprinkle with greens, and drizzle with your sriracha sauce.
