Everyone is turnin’ up for Pumpkin! Pumpkin is not only the leading food this time of year, it also has amazing health benefits! If you want a food to fill you up, but not fill-you-out… Pumpkin will be your new fav!
Here’s How:
Preheat oven to 350′ F Degrees. Carefully cut pumpkins open with a serrated knife. Remove pulp and seeds. Slice into 1/2 inch slices for easy skin removal, reserve seeds in salted water for roasting.
On baking sheet, lay pumpkins slices, drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, flip and season with salt and pepper.
Roast uncovered for about 10-12 minutes depending on size. Poke with a fork to check doneness. Be sure to under cook the pumpkin to hold their shape when diced. Cool quicky to prevent over cooking. When cool, remove skin and cut into dice.
In a small bowl- combine tomato, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, lemon, lime zest and juice, cumin and 1-1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Add cooled diced pumpkin. Toss to coat.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper add additional cumin and maple syrup to taste.
Serve with corn tortilla chips.
