Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cut your pumpkin into wedges or slices, ensuring each piece is about 1/2 to 1 inch thick. If you like, you can peel the pumpkin, but leaving the skin on can add extra texture and flavor.
- Once you have your wedges, make thin cuts across each piece, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch apart. Be careful not to cut all the way through - you want the cuts to create an accordion effect.
- Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and paprika until well combined.
- Arrange the pumpkin wedges in the baking dish, cut side up.
- Using a brush or a spoon, generously coat each pumpkin wedge with the brown sugar and maple syrup mixture.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
- After the initial baking period, take the dish out of the oven and baste the pumpkin with the glaze that has collected at the bottom of the dish.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the pumpkin.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and caramelized, and the pecans are toasted.
- Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm as a delightful side dish or sweet treat!
Tips:
- Choose a pumpkin variety that's good for roasting, such as sugar pumpkin or kabocha.
- To make slicing easier, microwave the pumpkin for 2-3 minutes before cutting.
- Use a spoon to scoop out seeds and stringy bits from the pumpkin cavity before slicing.
- You can substitute walnuts or almonds for the pecans if desired.
- Serve the dish warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert option.
