Ingredients
1kg pumpkin
peeled and cut into even sized chunks
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup maple flavoured syrup
Equipment
- 1 Oven
- 1 Baking tray
- 1 Baking paper
- 1 Bowl
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a tray with baking paper and set aside.
- In a bowl, toss the pumpkin in the olive oil and set pieces on the tray so they are not touching.
- Place in the oven and cook for 30 minutes.
- Remove and drizzle the maple flavoured syrup over the pumpkin, making sure to turn it so that each piece is evenly covered.
- Place back into the oven for a further 15-20 mins so that edges are just a little darkened.
Notes
Tip
This makes pumpkin super-sweet. I used butternut but I think using a less sweet pumpkin like kent would work very well.
Tip
You could definitely use real maple syrup but it is very expensive. I have used both and I found no flavour difference after baking.
Variation
Use butternut pumpkin for a sweeter result, or a less sweet variety like Kent.
Variation
Real maple syrup can be used instead of maple-flavoured syrup.
