Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle with just enough seasoning to change your mind on what to expect from pumpkins.
Parmesan Pumpkin Wedges
Prep time: 25 minutes
Total time: 60 minutes
Yield: Serves 2-4
Ingredients
- 1 small sugar pumpkin
- 3 tablespoons bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 6 tablespoons parsley, chopped fine
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped fine
- 1 large fresh lemon, zested
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Pinch salt
- Pinch white pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons mascarpone
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
Cooking directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut pumpkin in half. Remove top vine, scrape away seeds and pulp with rounded edge of spoon. Cut pumpkin lengthwise into wedges approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- In shallow mixing bowl combine bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, thyme, lemon zest, garlic, salt and white pepper. Stir until well blended, about 1 minute.

Return to baking sheet and place on center rack of oven. Cook about 30 minutes or until tender. If pumpkin wedges begin to blacken, cover with additional foil.
