The combination of parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and zesty lemon enhances the natural sweetness of the pumpkin, making it a perfect addition to any meal.

Ingredients:

8 cups pumpkin
960g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 tbsp bread crumbs
30g
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
14g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
2. Prepare the Pumpkin:
- Cut the pumpkin into wedges, ensuring they are roughly uniform in size for even cooking.
3. Season the Pumpkin:
- 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.
4. Roast the Pumpkin:
- 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.
5. Prepare the Gremolata:
- 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.
6. Add the Gremolata:
- 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.
7. Final Bake:
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the gremolata is lightly toasted and golden brown.
8. Serve:
- 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.
