Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
- Cut the pumpkin into wedges, ensuring they are roughly uniform in size for even cooking.
- Place the pumpkin wedges in a large bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the pumpkin and toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange the pumpkin wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the pumpkin for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the wedges are tender and lightly browned. Flip the wedges halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
- While the pumpkin is roasting, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Mix well to form the gremolata topping.
- Once the pumpkin wedges are roasted and tender, remove them from the oven.
- Sprinkle the gremolata mixture evenly over the top of the pumpkin wedges.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the gremolata is lightly toasted and golden brown.
- Remove the pumpkin wedges from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Arrange the wedges on a serving platter and enjoy them warm as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
Tips:
- Choose a firm, ripe pumpkin to ensure the wedges hold their shape and cook evenly.
- To save time, you can prep the gremolata topping in advance and store it in the fridge.
- For a crunchier texture, consider using panko breadcrumbs instead of regular ones.
- Ensure the lemon zest is finely grated to distribute its flavor evenly.
