Instructions
- For the roasted Pumpkin
- Preheat the oven to 425 then prepare the pumpkin for roasting by cutting it in half then scooping out the seeds (set aside for roasting) and pulp. Using a sharp knife, slice off the skin and cut the pumpkin into cubes. Add the cubed pumpkin to a large baking dish then drizzle half of the olive oil over the pumpkin then add the spices (thyme, salt & pepper, smoked paprika, cinnamon, chili powder, and sage). Use your hands or a spoon and mix everything together so each pumpkin cube is evenly coated with the spices.
- Bake the pumpkin for 25 minutes, tossing them halfway through. Set the pumpkin aside.
- For the Chili
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the rest of the olive oil. Add the onion and saute for 3-4 minutes until they look translucent then add the garlic, red pepper, green chili and Lion’s Mane Mushroom Crumble, season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot except the oregano, bring the chili to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes. Taste the chili and adjust seasoning if necessary, finally stir in the oregano and serve. Garnish with a few slices of avocado and cilantro if desired.
- Enjoy!
- *For a thinner chili add water and for a thicker chili simmer until desired consistency is reached.
