Ingredients

1 pound sugar pumpkin or acorn squash
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely sliced
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 handful fresh chopped basil
2 tablespoons fresh chopped mint

Directions

Leave the rinds on and remove seeds from the pumpkin. Cut the flesh lengthwise into wedges, each about the length of your hand from fingertip to wrist. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pumpkin wedges. Cook until soft and deep golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Turn the wedges over and add garlic. Drizzle first the honey and then the vinegar over the pumpkin pieces, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the liquids reduce to a glaze, turning the pumpkin pieces, if necessary. Add basil and mint at the last second. Transfer pumpkin wedges to a platter and drizzle pan juices on top. Serve room temperature or hot.

Easy to make. Very tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We had good success with a smaller sugar pumpkin sliced about the thickness of my finger. We used a little less oil than the... recipe called for and had great results.Read more

Delicious, beautiful and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was ridiculously easy to do and the finished dish looked as beautiful as it had on the show. My family--from ages 2 to... 76--likes it so much that we've already made it again and are adding it to the menu for our New Year's dinner with friends. It's a great way to use the pumpkins we have stored--and a nice break from mashing, baking or "risotto-ing."Read more
