Golden, caramelized pumpkin. Creamy, tangy whipped feta. A generous pour of really good olive oil. Some combinations are simply made for each other.
This Roasted Spiced Pumpkin on Whipped Feta is everything we love about autumn cooking—warm, comforting, and full of flavour. Tender pumpkin is roasted with garlic, paprika, and fragrant herbs until beautifully golden, then served over a silky bed of whipped feta and Greek yogurt. The finishing touch? A generous drizzle of DAMYA Biodynamic® Extra Virgin Olive Oil, bringing richness and depth to every bite.
Simple enough for a cozy evening at home, yet beautiful enough to take centre stage at your next gathering. Serve it with warm, crusty bread and let everyone dig in.

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the oven.
Set your oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. Season the pumpkin.
In a large bowl, toss the cubed pumpkin with minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme or oregano, salt, pepper, and a generous drizzle of DAMYA Biodynamic® Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Mix until every piece is beautifully coated.
3. Roast until golden.
Spread the seasoned pumpkin evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for approximately 30 minutes, or until tender, golden, and lightly caramelized around the edges.
4. Whip the feta.
While the pumpkin roasts, combine the feta, Greek yogurt, and a generous pour of DAMYA Biodynamic Olive Oil in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, creamy, and beautifully whipped.
5. Assemble your plate.
Spread the whipped feta generously across a serving platter, creating soft swirls with the back of a spoon. Arrange the warm roasted pumpkin over the top.
6. Finish and serve.
Drizzle with more DAMYA Biodynamic® Extra Virgin Olive Oil and, if desired, a little honey for a delicate touch of sweetness. Serve warm and enjoy.
💡 Serving Tip
For a little extra heat, replace half the paprika with harissa. The gentle spice pairs beautifully with the sweet roasted pumpkin and tangy whipped feta.
Serve alongside warm, crusty bread to scoop up every last bit of that creamy feta and golden olive oil.
