Roasted Pumpkin

Ingredients

  • Pumpkin any size, under 5-10 lbs will be easier to handle than larger pumpkins
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • brown sugar
  • maple syrup

Instructions

  • The exact portions of toppings are easy to estimate depending on how large your pumpkin is.
  • You'll need a few tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Same with the brown sugar and syrup, use as much as you like but there is no need to over apply, I found that I liked the sweet version roasted with some brown sugar and syrup, then I added a little more after the tray came out of the oven.
  • Slice the pumpkin off the shell.
  • Working with the pumpkin reminds me of slicing a cantaloupe.
  • Roast the pumpkin slices at 400° for 30 minutes or until tender when checked with a knife.

Notes

You can roast the pumpkin with just oil, then add the toppings you prefer when it comes out of the oven if you prefer.
