Roasted Pumpkin Plated

Sometimes the simplest preparation of food is the best.  By letting the essence of a featured ingredient shine though you can enjoy the flavors as mother nature intended.  Roasted pumpkin is a shining example of less is more.  With a  little oil, salt and pepper you can make a healthy side dish that tastes amazing.  

Roasted Pumpkin

Pumpkin has become my new favorite vegetable not only for its wonderful flavor but for its healthy properties.  It is high in fiber and beta- Carotene.  Pumpkin is also loaded with vitamin A (one cup has 200 percent of your recommended daily allowance) which help with night vision.  At around 45 calories per cup, it is low in calories so you can fill you plate with no guilt.

This recipes easy to make but here are my tips for easy cooking

  1. Make sure each pumpkin slice is evenly coated with oil, salt and pepper.  You can reduce the amount of fat by reducing the amount of oil used.  If you do use less oil, consider roasting on parchment paper.  The sugar in the pumpkin will caramelize when cooking and the pumpkin will stick without oil or parchment.  Simple roasted pumpkin
  2. About 20 minutes into cooking the pumpkin loosen the pumpkin from the steel pan with a metal spatula. These Squickmons CNC plasma for sale here are used for metal works cutting steel and metal products!
