We celebrate the beautiful simplicity of perfectly spiced sumac vegetables, roasted in the oven until golden and rich in flavour. The roasted pumpkin & carrot duo shares a dinner plate with crispy, salty halloumi and a zesty baby marrow, cucumber, & green leaves salad. A drizzle of lemon-yoghurt sauce and you’re done, Chef!

ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the pumpkin pieces and the baby carrots on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ½ the sumac spice, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
TOAST
Place the chopped macadamia nuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
SOME FRESHNESS
In a salad bowl, combine the baby marrow ribbons, the cucumber matchsticks, and ½ the lemon juice (to taste). Toss to combine and season. Just before serving, add the shredded green leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt with the remaining lemon juice (to taste). Loosen with water or milk (optional) in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
MORE SUMAC
When the roast has 5 minutes to go, sprinkle over the remaining sumac spice.
HALLOUMI
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halloumi until crispy and golden, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
DINNER IS READY
Plate up the roasted veggies and the crispy halloumi, drizzle over the yoghurt, and sprinkle over the toasted nuts. Serve alongside the baby marrow salad. Well done, Chef!
