“I will defend pumpkin until the day I die. It's delicious. It's healthy. I don't understand the backlash. How did pumpkin become this embarrassing thing to love but bacon is still the cool flavor to add to everything? I don't have anything against bacon; just don't come after pumpkin like it's a crime to love an American staple.” -Anna Kendrick, Scrappy Little Nobody
This recipe is really delicious and you can take it as spicy is you want by adding a bit of cayenne pepper along with the red pepper flakes. The spice is a great balance to the sweetness of the pumpkin and the umami flavors of the chickpeas and onions.
