Pumpkin wedges with feta

Pumpkin wedges with feta are a delightful and nutritious dish that combines the natural sweetness of roasted pumpkin with the savory, creamy taste of feta cheese. This simple yet elegant recipe is perfect for a cozy dinner, a holiday side dish, or even a healthy snack. The addition of sage and walnuts enhances the flavor profile, making every bite a burst of autumnal goodness. Let's dive into the steps to create this delicious and easy-to-make dish.

Ingredients:

4 cups pumpkin
480g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tbsp butter
16g
2 tbsp sage
30g
2 tbsp feta cheese
30g
1 tbsp walnuts
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Pumpkin:
Cut the pumpkin into wedges, making sure to remove the seeds and peel.
3. Season and Roast:
Place the pumpkin wedges in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and toss to coat the wedges evenly. Transfer the pumpkin wedges to the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.
4. Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin wedges are tender and golden brown. You can test the tenderness by inserting a fork into a wedge; it should go in easily.
5. Prepare the Sage Butter:
While the pumpkin is roasting, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped sage leaves and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the butter starts to brown and the sage becomes crispy.
6. Toast the Walnuts:
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped walnuts until they are golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
7. Assemble:
Once the pumpkin wedges are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle the sage butter over the pumpkin wedges.
8. Garnish:
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and toasted walnuts over the top of the pumpkin wedges.
9. Serve:
Serve the pumpkin wedges warm, and enjoy this delicious combination of flavors and textures.

Tips:

- Choose the right pumpkin: For the best texture and flavor, use a sugar pumpkin or another variety suitable for cooking rather than a large jack-o'-lantern pumpkin.

- Cut evenly: Ensure that your pumpkin wedges are of equal size to promote even roasting and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain underdone.

- Preheat the oven: Preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F) before roasting ensures that the pumpkin cooks evenly and develops a nice caramelized exterior.

- Use fresh sage: Fresh sage leaves will provide a more vibrant flavor and aroma compared to dried sage. When using fresh sage, finely chop it to release its essential oils.

- Add feta last: To keep the feta cheese from melting too much, add it to the pumpkin wedges after they come out of the oven while they’re still warm.

- Toast the walnuts: For extra flavor, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are fragrant and lightly browned before adding them to the dish.

In just a few simple steps, you've created a delectable dish that is sure to impress. The combination of roasted pumpkin, creamy feta, fragrant sage, and crunchy walnuts makes for a well-balanced and flavorful experience. Whether you're serving it as a side dish or enjoying it on its own, Pumpkin Wedges with Feta is a versatile recipe that brings out the best of seasonal ingredients. Enjoy your culinary creation!
