Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and seed the pumpkin, then cut it into roughly 1-inch chunks.
- Peel the onions and cut them into wedges, trying to keep the layers intact as much as possible to prevent them from falling apart while roasting.
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin chunks and onion wedges.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, tossing them gently to ensure that all pieces are lightly coated.
- Add the finely chopped rosemary to the bowl, along with a generous pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Mix everything together until the vegetables are evenly seasoned.
- Spread the seasoned pumpkin and onion mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Try to avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Be sure to stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning.
- After 30 minutes, check the tenderness of the pumpkin with a fork. If it’s not tender enough, continue roasting for another 5-10 minutes, checking frequently.
- Once the vegetables are done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let it cool slightly before transferring to a serving dish.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle a little more fresh rosemary on top before serving for added flavor and presentation.
Tips:
- 1. Choose a sweet variety of pumpkin like Sugar Pie or Butternut for the best flavor.
- 2. Slice the onions evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- 3. Toss the pumpkin and onions thoroughly with the olive oil and rosemary to ensure they are well-coated.
- 4. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 30-40 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and the onions are caramelized.
- 5. Stir halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- 6. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh rosemary before serving for added flavor and a pop of color.
Roasting pumpkin with red onion is a simple yet delicious way to bring out the natural sweetness and earthy flavors of these ingredients.
