Roasted pumpkin

Mixed roasted pumpkin is a delightful and healthy dish that combines the sweet, nutty flavor of pumpkin with the crunchy texture of pistachio nuts and the aromatic presence of shallots and spearmint. This recipe is perfect for a cozy fall dinner or as a unique side dish for your next gathering.

Ingredients:

4 cups pumpkin
480g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1/3 cup pistachio nuts
50g
2 shallots
100g
2 tbsp spearmint
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Pumpkin:
- Start by peeling and cubing the pumpkin into 1-inch pieces.
- Place the pumpkin cubes in a large mixing bowl.
3. Season the Pumpkin:
- Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the pumpkin cubes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the pumpkin cubes to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
4. Roast the Pumpkin:
- Spread the seasoned pumpkin cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the pumpkin for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
5. Prepare the Shallots and Pistachios:
- While the pumpkin is roasting, peel and thinly slice the shallots.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, dry toast the pistachio nuts until they are fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

6. Combine Ingredients:
- Once the pumpkin is roasted, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
- Transfer the roasted pumpkin to a serving bowl.
- Add the sliced shallots and toasted pistachio nuts to the bowl.
- Sprinkle the chopped spearmint over the mixture.
7. Serve:
- Gently toss all the ingredients together to combine.
- Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.

Tips:

- Use fresh pumpkin for the best flavor and texture. If fresh pumpkin is not available, you can use frozen pumpkin cubes.

- Ensure that the pumpkin is cut into uniform pieces to allow even roasting.

- Lightly toast the pistachio nuts before adding them to the dish to enhance their flavor.

- For an added layer of flavor, you can drizzle some balsamic vinegar or sprinkle some feta cheese on top before serving.

- Keep an eye on the roasting process to avoid overcooking the pumpkin, which can cause it to become mushy.

Mixed roasted pumpkin is a simple yet delicious dish that brings together a mix of textures and flavors. The combination of roasted pumpkin, crunchy pistachios, and aromatic shallots and spearmint makes for a delightful and nutritious meal. Serve it warm and enjoy the burst of flavors with each bite.
