Honeyed pumpkin wedges

Enjoy a delicious and healthy side dish with these Honeyed Pumpkin Wedges. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of honey with the citrusy zest of orange juice and the rich texture of olive oil, perfectly complementing the tender and slightly nutty flavor of roasted pumpkin. It's an easy and quick addition to any meal, providing both nutrition and a burst of flavor.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp honey
20g
1 tbsp orange juice
16g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
6 cups pumpkin
720g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pumpkin:
- Clean and peel the pumpkin. Cut it into wedges roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
- Lay the pumpkin wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. Make the Honey Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of orange juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
3. Coat the Pumpkin:
- Brush or drizzle the honey mixture evenly over the pumpkin wedges, ensuring each piece gets a good coating.
4. Season (Optional):
- If desired, you can add a sprinkle of salt and pepper over the wedges to enhance the flavors.
5. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin wedges are tender and caramelized around the edges. You can check doneness by piercing a wedge with a fork or knife; it should go in easily.
6. Turn the Wedges (Optional):
- Halfway through the baking time (about 15 minutes in), you can turn the wedges over to ensure they cook evenly and get caramelized on both sides.
7. Serve:
- Remove the pumpkin wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They are delicious served warm as a side dish or even as a sweet snack.

Tips:

- Choose a firm, sweet pumpkin variety like Sugar Pie or Kabocha for the best flavor and texture.

- Make sure your pumpkin wedges are evenly cut to ensure they cook at the same rate.

- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the wedges from sticking and to make for easier cleanup.

- Feel free to add some spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for an added depth of flavor.

- Toss the wedges halfway through roasting for even caramelization and to make sure they cook evenly on both sides.

These Honeyed Pumpkin Wedges are a versatile and delicious addition to any meal. Whether served as a side dish or enjoyed on their own, they offer a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you can prepare a dish that is both delightful and nutritious, impressing family and friends alike.
