Roasted honey mustard pumpkin is a delightful and nutritious side dish that's perfect for fall or any time you crave the sweet and savory combination of honey and mustard. This simple recipe brings out the natural sweetness of pumpkin, complemented by the zesty flavors of mustard and garlic. It's not only easy to prepare but also a visually appealing addition to your meal.
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.
