Balsamic Pumpkin
Ummm...How good is pumpkin? I feel like pumpkin is such an underrated vegetable and can be made SO delicious! It's the perfect side to any BBQ, Roast or even as a bulk part of your veggie meal!
Serves4-6 as a side dishPrep10 minutesCook40 minutesTotal50 minutes
ingredients
- 1kg Japanese pumpkin, skin on, cut into 3cm wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt and pepper (generous please!)
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 1 tbsp parsley, roughly chopped
method
- Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced.
- In a large mixing bowl, add pumpkin and olive oil and sprinkle rosemary, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper over the top and toss well. **The reason I do it in a bowl is to ensure every bit of the pumpkin (this counts for all veggies) is coated and well oiled.
- Arrange the pumpkin on a lined baking tray and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top of all the pumpkin.
- Bake in the oven for 40 minutes. Halfway, turn the pumpkin around and place back into the oven for the remaining 20 minutes.
- Remove & serve with pesto! (best combo!)
