Are you looking for a simple and delicious side dish that's perfect for any occasion? Look no further than these roasted pumpkin wedges! Made with just a handful of ingredients and easy to prepare, these wedges are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
To start, preheat your oven to 200ºC (400ºF) and line a baking tray with baking paper. Cut a butternut pumpkin into 1/2 inch wedges, remove the seeds and strings, and add them to a mixing bowl. Toss the pumpkin with filtered water, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well coated, then let it sit for about 20 minutes to absorb the spices.
Transfer the seasoned pumpkin wedges to the prepared baking tray and arrange them into a single layer. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the pumpkin is very tender. Remove the pumpkin from the oven and brush each piece with maple syrup. Return it to the oven and continue baking for about 5 more minutes, or until the maple syrup is just starting to brown and bubble. Season with additional salt if needed, and enjoy!
