Method
    1. Preheat the Oven:
      Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
    2. Prepare the Vegetables:
      In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced king oyster mushrooms, diced pumpkin, and soaked spelt grains. Drizzle with olive oil, add minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure even coating.
    3. Roast the Ingredients:
      Spread the mushroom, pumpkin, and spelt mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and golden, stirring halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
    4. Garnish and Serve:
      Remove the roasted mixture from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
    5. Serve Warm:
      Serve the Roasted King Oyster Mushrooms with Pumpkin and Spelt warm as a delightful side dish or a light vegetarian main course.
    Pro Tips
    • Spelt Texture: Keep an eye on the spelt grains; they should be tender but slightly chewy. Avoid overcooking for the perfect texture.
    • Mushroom Roasting: Ensure the mushrooms are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet for even roasting and a delightful caramelization.
    • Flavorful Garnish: Enhance the presentation and taste by adding a handful of toasted pine nuts or a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
    • Creative Variations: Experiment with different types of winter squash like butternut or acorn squash for unique flavors and colors.
