Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Pumpkin Slices are terrific alone as a dessert or get fancy and use them to make a pumpkin pie. Having never done much with fresh pumpkin, I decided to try a quick dish.
Since I'm a radical when it comes to cooking, I threw caution to the wind and decided to roast the pumpkin. After all, pumpkin is just a squash, and we have been enjoying roasted squash all season.
The result is a tender, tasty morsel of pumpkin just right to nibble on or use in a pumpkin pie. To make it a little different, I sprinkled it with cinnamon and sugar. And it was delightful enough to eat for dessert.
Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Pumpkin Slices
Ingredients
- 1 2-pound pumpkin
- ⅛ cup cinnamon
- ⅛ cup sugar
- Spritz of vegetable oil spray
Directions
-
Peel the pumpkin and remove the stem.
-
Slice the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and membrane.
-
Slice the pumpkin into ½-inch-thick wedges.
-
Arrange the slices in an oiled and heated iron skillet or on a baking sheet which has been lightly sprayed with vegetable oil or covered in parchment paper.
-
Mix the cinnamon and sugar together and put it in a shaker.
-
Sprinkle the wedges with the cinnamon/sugar mixture. (If you plan to simply eat the roasted pumpkin slices, then use a generous amount of cinnamon/sugar. If the plan is to make a pie with them, then just use a light sprinkle. The sugar will caramelize adding a sweetness to the pumpkin.
-
Bake at 425F for about 20 minutes or when the thick part of the slice is easily pierced with a fork.
