Vegan Oven Roasted Pumpkin Wedges With Cranberry, Pecan and Chile Pesto image

This sweet and savory pumpkin dish came to The Times from Tara Deshpande Tennebaum in 2015 when the Well blog invited readers to share their favorite vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes. Ms. Deshpande Tennebaum, who is from Mumbai, married a Minnesotan, and has come to love the holiday. She developed this recipe when they were in India for Thanksgiving one year, using red pumpkin, a native vegetable that is similar to American pumpkin.

Time 2h25m

Yield Serves 10 with about 2 wedges each

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1 cup natural orange juice
1 cup grapeseed oil, divided
1.5 cups whole unsalted pecans
2 teaspoons red chile flakes (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
kosher salt
4 1/2 to 5 pound pumpkin

Steps:

  • To make the pesto: Combine cranberries, orange juice and 1/2 cup grapeseed oil in a bowl to soak while you prepare the other components. In a medium skillet, dry roast the pecans over a medium flame until fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a tray and allow to cool. Gently toast the red chile flakes about 1 minute in the same skillet and remove to a small plate or bowl. Blitz the cranberries and orange juice in a small food processor. Add chile flakes, thyme and three-fourths of the pecans and process until smooth. Add the remaining pecans and pulse one or two times for a chunky consistency. Season with kosher salt to taste, and more red chile flakes if desired. Set the pesto aside or refrigerate.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice open the pumpkin and remove seeds and fibers. Slice pumpkin into 1¼-inch-thick wedges. Brush all over with 1/2 cup grapeseed oil. Sprinkle with sea salt. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and cover with foil.
  • Roast covered for 90 minutes. Remove foil and increase heat to 375 degrees and cook another 20 to 30 minutes, until the edges begin to caramelize. Allow to cool slightly before serving wedges with the pesto.

OVEN-ROASTED VEGETABLES



Oven-Roasted Vegetables image

Roasting vegetables is a simple method that makesefficient use of cooking space -- the pan can share the oven with a chicken or pork roast -- and results in deep flavor.

Yield Serves 5 and then some

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch of small carrots, peeled
4 medium beets, cleaned, trimmed, and quartered
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and wiped clean, large ones halved
5 shallots, peeled and halved
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon coarse salt
Coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place each type of vegetable in its own area on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over all the vegetables. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
  • Roast until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes. Test each type of vegetable for doneness. Arrange on a platter.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe vegetables for roasting. Avoid vegetables that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. Smaller pieces will cook faster than larger pieces.
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit or 220 degrees Celsius) for a short amount of time. This will help them to retain their nutrients and flavor.
  • Add the apples, dried cranberries, and pumpkin seeds to the roasting pan during the last 10 minutes of cooking. This will prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the roasted vegetables immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or dressing.

Oven-roasted vegetables with apples, dried cranberries, and pumpkin seeds is a healthy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This dish is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
