How to Make Balsamic Roasted Pumpkin

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed pumpkin with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Ensure the pumpkin is evenly coated.
  3. Spread the pumpkin in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 40-50 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
