Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the pumpkin and cut it into approximately 1-inch cubes. You should have around 8 cups of cubed pumpkin.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, and mustard until well combined. Add the minced garlic and stir to incorporate.
Place the cubed pumpkin in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey mustard dressing over the pumpkin and toss well to ensure all the pieces are evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the dressed pumpkin cubes in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not overcrowded.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and starts to caramelize around the edges. Stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
After 25-30 minutes, check the pumpkin with a fork. It should be tender and slightly browned. If necessary, roast for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Remove the roasted pumpkin from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm as a side dish or add it to salads or grain bowls.
Tips:
- Make sure to cut the pumpkin into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Preheat your oven to ensure the pumpkin cooks evenly and gets a nice roast.
- Toss the pumpkin thoroughly to ensure each piece is well-coated with the honey mustard mixture.
- Consider adding a sprinkle of salt and pepper before roasting for extra flavor.
- To enhance the flavor, you can add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme before roasting.
