- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

- 3 tablespoons pickles (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 red onion (thinly sliced)

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the cubed pumpkin on the baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the pumpkin in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove and let cool slightly.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted pumpkin, cooked egg noodles, chopped pickles, red onion, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently until everything is well coated.
Sprinkle the toasted pumpkin seeds on top for added crunch and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for the flavors to meld. Enjoy your German Pumpkin Noodle Salad!
