Baked Pumpkin is a quick and easy side dish to accompany your Thanksgiving meal or a Sunday roast dinner. Pumpkin slices are roasted with garlic and sage butter for a vegetarian side that is full of flavor. This dish is sure to become a fall favorite!
Cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Use a good vegetable peeler to remove the skin and cut into slices around 2cm / 1 inch in thickness.
Put a pan on a medium / low heat and add the butter and slowly melt it.
Finely cut the garlic and sage leaves and add to the butter. Stir well and turn the heat off.
Line a baking tray with tin foil.
Put the pumpkin slices in a large bowl, and pour over the butter, add the pepper and a pinch of salt. Mix with your hands well to make sure the slices are coated.
Put the slices on to the lined baking tray and put in the oven.
Cook for 30 - 40 minutes until the pumpkin is soft and the edges are brown and crispy.
