Roasted Bourbon Brown Sugar Pumpkin

From the Keri Fisher collection

Serves

Introduction

This recipe works with any size of pumpkin or winter squash, like acorn or butternut; you may need to adjust the cooking time and/or amount of glaze.

Ingredients

	2	Tbsp. vegetable oil
	1	medium pumpkin or 2 small sugar pumpkins (about 8 pounds total), stem and pulp removed and discarded, seeds rinsed well and reserved for toasting, if desired
	4	Tbsp. butter, melted
	¼	cup brown sugar
	1	Tbsp. bourbon (optional)
	~	Salt

Steps

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat two baking sheets with the oil. Cut pumpkin in half and cut each half into 4 wedges (if using sugar pumpkins, 2 wedges). Place wedges, one cut side down, on the baking sheets. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until pumpkin is tender, about 30 minutes.
Combine butter, brown sugar, and bourbon in a small bowl and mix until smooth. Turn pumpkin wedges skin-side down, sprinkle with salt, and brush pumpkin with sugar mixture. Bake uncovered until pumpkin is golden brown and soft, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
