Want a Roasted Pumpkin Recipe?

There really isn’t any need for a specific recipe for roasting a pumpkin. You

can easily create your own recipes. Here are just few tips:

Wash the outside well, dry it, then cut
it in half with a large knife. (No need to
peel.) Once halved, use a large spoon to

scoop out the seeds.

Preheat the oven to 400ºF and spread soften
butter over a rimmed baking sheet. Slice
your pumpkin into crescents about the

width of your thumb and toss them on the
baking sheet. They should be in a single

layer. (If you have a lot, roast them on two
trays, or refrigerate the rest for another day.)

Roast the slices on the lower rack of the
oven for 20 to 30 minutes, flipping them

midway during baking, until they’re
cooked to your liking.

Use your imagination to add extra taste
and flavors to your roasted pumpkin:

- You can sprinkle it with coarse sea salt
and black or chili pepper.
- You can add some thinly sliced garlic

for extra flavor.
- Using fresh thyme, rosemary or sage will

make your pumpkin a great side dish.
- Adding cinnamon and brown sugar
or maple syrup on your pumpkin to be

added to your oatmeal or yogurt.

Pumpkin your life with this magical fruit

or vegetable, whatever you prefer to call it!
