My latest obsession has been to make vegetables the star of our meals at home. This sweet roast pumpkin with creamy Greek yogurt, and sweet and spicy mint chutney works beautifully both as a side dish and even as a main served with some toasty sourdough. Add a light drizzle of sriracha for a an extra kick and toasted pine-nuts for crunch - enjoy the recipe!
