Description

The tender texture and flavor of pumpkin allow for endless creativity. In this case, all its wonderful qualities are enhanced by spices and brown sugar—the latter slightly caramelizes the outer layer, while cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg add an air of mystery to the pumpkin.

Ingredients

Pumpkin - 2 lbs
Olive Oil - 1 fl oz
Ground clove - a pinch
Ground Nutmeg - a pinch
Ground Cinnamon - 1 tablespoon
Brown Sugar - 2 spoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Mix the cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar.

Step 2

Scoop out the seeds from the pumpkin. You can save them to roast or bake later.

Step 3

Cut the pumpkin into wedges about 3 cm thick.

Step 4

Transfer the pieces of pumpkin to a baking sheet, drizzle them with olive oil, and use your hands to spread it evenly over all the pieces.

Step 5

Sprinkle the pumpkin with the spice mixture. Place it in an oven preheated to 392°F (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15–20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pieces.
