Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed pumpkin with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the pumpkin cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway, until caramelised and soft.

If using pumpkin seeds, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chilli jam, lime juice, honey, and soy sauce to create the dressing.
To assemble the salad, arrange the salad greens on a large serving platter or individual plates.
