Ingredients
- 4 cups Pumpkin (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin cubes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the pumpkin is evenly coated.
Step 3
If you prefer a hint of sweetness, drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the pumpkin and mix well.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned pumpkin cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Step 5
Roast the pumpkin in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through cooking, until they are tender and caramelized around the edges.
Step 6
Remove the pumpkin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Transfer the balsamic roasted pumpkin to a serving dish and garnish with additional rosemary, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
