Ingredients:
1 medium pumpkin (about 3-4 lbs), peeled, seeded, and cut into wedges
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Pumpkin:
In a large mixing bowl, toss the pumpkin wedges with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Arrange on a Baking Sheet:
Spread the seasoned pumpkin wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer.
Roast the Pumpkin:
Roast the pumpkin in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Add Tomatoes and Feta:
After the pumpkin is roasted, remove it from the oven and scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese over the pumpkin wedges.
Bake Again:
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the tomatoes are blistered and the feta is soft.
Serve:
Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and optional balsamic glaze.
Garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving.
