Roast potato and pumpkin wedges with rosemary salt is a delightful and aromatic side dish that's perfect for any meal. The combination of crispy potatoes, sweet pumpkin, and fragrant rosemary makes for a comforting and flavorful dish that's easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) to ensure it’s hot enough when you’re ready to start roasting the vegetables.
- Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water. If you prefer, peel the potatoes, but leaving the skin on is also delicious. Cut each potato into wedges; aiming for uniform size helps them cook evenly.
- Pumpkin: Carefully cut the pumpkin in half, remove the seeds, and peel the skin. Cut the pumpkin into wedges similar in size to your potato wedges.
Place the potato and pumpkin wedges into a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, ground cumin, and salt. Toss everything together well, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Finely chop the rosemary leaves. Sprinkle the rosemary over the seasoned vegetables and give them another good toss to distribute the rosemary evenly.
Spread the seasoned potato and pumpkin wedges in a single layer on a large baking tray. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this will help them roast properly without steaming.
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven. Roast for 35-45 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through the cooking time to ensure they roast evenly on all sides. They should be golden brown and crisp on the outside, and tender on the inside.
After 35 minutes, check the wedges by piercing them with a fork. They should be easy to pierce, crispy on the outside, and soft inside. If they need more time, continue roasting and check at 5-minute intervals.
Once done, remove from the oven and let the wedges sit for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve hot as a side dish or a delicious snack.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) to ensure even cooking.
- Cut the potatoes and pumpkin into similar-sized wedges to ensure they cook evenly.
- Toss the wedges thoroughly with olive oil and seasoning to ensure each piece is well-coated.
- Spread the wedges out in a single layer on the baking tray to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to steaming rather than roasting.
- Turn the wedges halfway through the cooking time to ensure they get crispy on all sides.
- For extra crispiness, you can parboil the potato wedges for 5 minutes before roasting.
Enjoy your perfectly roasted potato and pumpkin wedges! The blend of flavors and textures makes this dish an instant favorite. Serve it as a side for your main course or enjoy it on its own as a tasty and healthy snack.
