How to Make Balsamic Roasted Pumpkin

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Spread the pumpkin in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  5. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
