Toasted Spiced Winter Pumpkin Medley
My plan last night was to make pumpkin soup for dinner, but I wanted to try this recipe so I made a fried chicken instead and served it as a side dish – Tommy didn't stop raving. He's a big fan of sweet winter pumpkins, but since I tend to like savory foods, this was the perfect balance.
Perfect addition to a turkey or chicken meal. You can use any winter squash, I used half a small butternut, buttercup, and delicatessen squash. If I had used the whole thing I would have used two pans, but I plan to use the rest in another recipe.
Tips:
Be careful not to overfill the parts as this will prevent steaming.
Check out this EASY tip to peel and cut the pumpkin! This makes tackling this big pumpkin easier and faster in just a few steps.
SPICE MIX – This makes enough spice mix for a couple of recipes. Keep the rest in a ziplock bag to prepare roasted vegetables or baked french fries another night.
