Roasted Pumpkin
Description
What is important here is the pumpkin. It’s preferred that a blue pumpkin (Hubbard) or Jarrahdale–a pale blue-skinned, very hard-fleshed pumpkin is used. Butternut squash is a good substitute.
Ingredients
Hubbard Pumpkin
Jarrahdale Pumpkin
Butternut Squash
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
Simply cut it in half and scoop out the seeds (save, wash and roast separate later for a yummy snack), then cut into 3/4-inch crescent moons.
Place pieces on a lined baking sheet skin side down, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Roast in a 400° F oven for 20-25 minutes, basting occasionally. Check with knife for softness and remove from the oven.
Eat as is, use in soups, or even add it to your mashed parsnips (see recipe here)
