Nutritional values
Quinoa is one of the only plant substances that is a complete protein, so if you're looking to incorporate more protein in your diet, this is a great option. Pumpkin contains a lot of beta-carotene, which converts into vitamin A in our bodies, helping strengthen our vision.
If you don't have pumpkin, you can use butternut squash or sweet potatoes.

Preparation steps
1.
For the roast pumpkin: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.
Sit the pumpkin slices on a rimmed baking tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Scatter over half of the chopped thyme and season with salt and pepper.
3.
Roast for 35 - 45 minutes until the flesh is golden and soft to the point of a knife.
4.
For the quinoa: In the meantime, place the quinoa in a saucepan and toast for 2 minutes over a moderate heat. Add the stock, stir well, and bring to the boil.
5.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 18 - 22 minutes until the quinoa has absorbed all the stock. Remove the quinoa from the heat and leave it covered for 5 minutes.
6.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and spoon into bowls. Top with the roast pumpkin and remaining thyme before serving.
