Autumn Recipe: Roasted Pumpkin with Maple Glaze

As the days grow shorter and the air becomes crisp, I find myself craving warm, hearty dishes that celebrate the flavors of autumn. Today, I’m excited to share with you my recipe for Roasted Pumpkin with Maple Glaze. This dish is perfect for cozy evenings at home or as a show-stopping side dish for your next dinner party.

Ingredients:

Kitchen Tools:

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, toss the diced pumpkin with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread the pumpkin out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

While the pumpkin is roasting, heat the maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the syrup thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Once the pumpkin is done roasting, transfer it to a serving dish and drizzle the maple glaze over the top. Sprinkle with chopped pecans for added crunch and a touch of sweetness. Serve hot as a delicious side dish to your favorite autumn meals.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 900g, with 4 servings at around 225g each. One serving of this Roasted Pumpkin with Maple Glaze is estimated to be around 180 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of smoked paprika to the pumpkin before roasting for an extra layer of flavor. Feel free to experiment with different spices and toppings to make this dish your own.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring this Roasted Pumpkin with Maple Glaze as much as I do. Let the flavors of autumn fill your kitchen and warm your soul. Happy cooking!
