  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 16 minute

Ingredients

– 1 medium pumpkin (about 3-4 pounds), peeled and diced
– 3 tablespoons maple syrup
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon nutmeg
– Salt, to taste
– 1 cup hazelnuts, roughly chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
– Optional: Feta cheese for garnish


Instructions

Creating Maple Roasted Pumpkin with Hazelnuts and Mint is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Pumpkin: Peel and dice the pumpkin into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add Flavorings: Drizzle the maple syrup and olive oil over the pumpkin. Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Toss well to combine.
4. Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned pumpkin cubes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and caramelized, flipping halfway through for even roasting.
6. Toast Hazelnuts: While the pumpkin is roasting, place the chopped hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
7. Combine Ingredients: Once the pumpkin is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes. Then, gently fold in the toasted hazelnuts and chopped mint.
8. Serve: Transfer the mixture to a serving platter. If desired, crumble feta cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor.

By following these steps, you’ll create a dish that is not only delicious but also visually appealing and healthy.
