Maple syrup roasted pumpkin & apples

Maple syrup roasted pumpkin & apples is a delicious fall-inspired dish that combines the natural sweetness of pumpkin and apples with the rich, caramel-like flavor of maple syrup. This simple yet delightful recipe is perfect for a comforting side dish or even a light dessert. With just a few ingredients, you can create a dish that's both flavorful and nutritious.

Ingredients:

6 cups pumpkin
720g
2 tbsp butter
30g
3 apples
480g
2 tbsp maple syrup
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure it's hot and ready when you finish preparing your ingredients.
2. Prepare the Pumpkin:
Peel the pumpkin and remove the seeds. Cut the pumpkin into bite-sized cubes. Measure out 6 cups (720g) of the diced pumpkin.
3. Prepare the Apples:
Peel, core, and dice the apples. Make sure the apple pieces are roughly the same size as the pumpkin cubes to ensure even roasting.
4. Combine Ingredients:
Place the diced pumpkin and apples into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the melted butter and 2 tbsp of maple syrup. Stir well to ensure the pumpkin and apples are evenly coated.
5. Season and Mix:
Optionally, you can add a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for additional flavor. Mix thoroughly once more.
6. Bake:
Spread the coated pumpkin and apples in an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Ensure the pieces are not too crowded to allow for even roasting.
7. Roast:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for about 30-35 minutes, or until the pumpkin and apples are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
8. Check for Doneness:
Pierce a piece of pumpkin with a fork; it should be tender and the edges slightly caramelized. The apples should also be softened.
9. Serve:
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. This dish is perfect as a side for roasted meats or as a warm, sweet addition to a fall-themed meal.

Tips:

- Choose the right pumpkin: Use a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin for a sweeter flavor and smoother texture compared to a larger carving pumpkin.

- Uniform size: Cut the pumpkin and apples into similar-sized pieces to ensure even roasting.

- Preheat the oven: Make sure your oven is preheated to 400°F (200°C) for optimal roasting and caramelization.

- Stir occasionally: Stir the pumpkin and apples halfway through roasting to ensure they cook evenly and don't stick to the baking sheet.

- Add spices: For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice to the mixture before roasting.

- Check for tenderness: Roast until the pumpkin and apples are tender and lightly browned, which usually takes about 25-30 minutes.

- Serve warm: This dish tastes best when served warm, so plan to serve it shortly after it comes out of the oven.

Enjoy your maple syrup roasted pumpkin & apples as a delightful side dish or a light dessert. This recipe brings out the best of fall flavors and is sure to be a hit with family and friends. Whether you're serving it at a holiday gathering or as a cozy weeknight treat, this dish is both comforting and delicious.
