Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (approximately 2 pounds) pumpkin
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 0.5 cup, loosely packed fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste salt
- 0.5 teaspoon, freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional) red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup, grated (optional for garnish) parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Carefully cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Peel the skin with a vegetable peeler or sharp knife. Cut the flesh into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion into half-moons. Dice the tomatoes into medium-sized chunks.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh basil leaves. Reserve a few whole basil leaves for garnish, if desired.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin cubes, onion slices, tomatoes, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer to ensure even cooking.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the pumpkin is tender and lightly caramelized at the edges.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the chopped basil over the roasted vegetables. Toss gently to combine.
If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the dish and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Serve the baked pumpkin with onions, tomatoes, and basil hot as a side dish or a vegetarian main course. Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired.
