Slice the pumpkin into finger-thick pieces and arrange them neatly on a baking tray.
Thinly slice the onions into half-moons and spread them over the pumpkin.
In a separate bowl, whisk the tomato paste, flour, vinegar, sumac, lemon juice, crushed garlic, olive oil, 1 cup of water, and salt. Make sure the flour has dissolved.
Pour the sauce evenly over the pumpkin, then sprinkle with red pepper flakes and dried mint.
Cover the tray with foil and bake in a preheated 200°C oven for 45 minutes so the pumpkin releases its own juices.
Remove the foil and bake for 15 more minutes, until the top is lightly browned. Rest for 5 minutes and serve with garlic yogurt.
💡 Tip: Whisking the sauce in a bowl before pouring it over the pumpkin prevents flour lumps. Covering the tray with foil for the first 45 minutes lets the pumpkin release its juices and soften; the final 15 minutes uncovered lightly caramelize the top.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm or cold with a spoonful of garlic yogurt and dried mint on top, plus bulgur pilaf or flatbread on the side.
