Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Place peeled & chopped pumpkin and barbecue seasoning on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 25-30 minutes. In the last 5-7 minutes of cook time, sprinkle over plant-based grated cheese, then bake until melted.
While the pumpkin is baking, finely chop garlic. Heat a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook garlic and the plant-based butter until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
Add basmati rice, vegetable stock powder, the water and a generous pinch of salt to the saucepan, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, thinly slice herbs. Roughly chop tomato. Heat a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds until golden, 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
When the rice is done, add herbs, tomato and salad leaves. Stir to combine.
Divide spinach rice between bowls. Top with cheezy spiced pumpkin. Dollop with plant-based sour cream. Sprinkle over toasted almonds to serve.
