How to Make Spiced Pumpkin Wedges

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a pestle and mortar, grind together 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), and ½ teaspoon sea salt until fragrant.
  3. Add 2 cloves garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the spice mixture. Pound to form a paste.
  4. Peel and cut a 1kg butternut squash or pumpkin into 2cm wedges. Toss the pumpkin wedges with the spice paste, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the pumpkin wedges skin-side down in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  7. Serve hot as a delicious side dish alongside tagines, roasted meats, or simply enjoy on their own!
