Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced.
To prepare the ingredients, quarter the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the parsley. Peel the pumpkin and cut it into 2 cm cubes, and juice the lemon.
Combine the cherry tomatoes, parsley, a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of olive oil and a good grind of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside for the flavours to develop.
Toss the pumpkin in the olive oil and cumin & cinnamon spice mix and place on one lined oven tray. Cook in the oven for 20 minutes or until tender. Add the falafels to a second lined oven tray and add to the oven in the final 10 minutes. To heat up the Lebanese breads add them to the oven in the final 5 minutes (or alternatively you can wrap them in a dampened tea towel and pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds).
To serve, create a mezze plate by dividing the pumpkin, falafels, parsley salad and the hummus between plates. Use the bread to mop up all the flavours or alternatively roll all of the ingredients up in the bread and enjoy as a wrap.
