    This Sweet Cinnamon Roasted Pumpkin Recipe (in Russian тыква запеченная с корицей) is an simple, rustic dessert. It reminds me of warm pumpkin pie filling. Something we enjoyed every fall during the garden harvest, and mom made it without fail.

    • This is a rustic dessert from my childhood. When harvest was done, mom always baked pumpkin with butter and brown sugar, just in time for Thanksgiving season. Sweet Roasted Pumpkin - Cinnamon Roasted Pumpkin (тыква запеченная с корицей)

    We grew up with a very large garden, several actually, on the same property, which provided more than enough home grown, organic fruits and vegetables. We planted in the spring, after the snow melted, and in the autumn, we would harvest the last of the vegetables and pumpkins before the first snow falls. This would always happen before Canadian Thanksgiving which is in October. This is a simple, rustic recipe from my childhood.

    Sweet Roasted Pumpkin

    Living in Australia, Roast Pumpkin is usually made as a savory dish (like Pumpkin Soup or Pumpkin Scones) and almost never as a sweet dish. Sweet Pumpkin Pie is still a foreign concept here and usually only available at Costco. This roasted pumpkin recipe feels like a hybrid of both sweet and savory. Roasted pumpkin with butter, with the addition of sugar and spices. This Sweet Cinnamon Roasted Pumpkin recipe is so easy, you almost can't call it a dessert.

    How to make Cinnamon Roasted Pumpkin

    It's a very rustic and easy pumpkin recipe. I'm assuming you're going to buy a whole pumpkin that needs to be cut and cleaned. Save the pumpkin seeds to make Roasted Pumpkin seeds. Roughly slice the pumpkin into pieces that are the same size to ensure even roasting. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, add a pat of butter and roast in the oven until cooked. When serving, add extra butter and brown sugar. It reminds me of a warm pumpkin pie filling. Serve warm, and mash up the butter, brown sugar and pumpkin and enjoy.

    Cinnamon Sugar is always in my pantry, but you could also use Pumpkin Pie Spice together with white sugar for a richer pumpkin pie flavor. You can also sprinkle the cinnamon sugar after the pumpkin is roasted, as if you add too much, the sugar will caramelize or burn. If that happens, just cover with foil if tops start to burn.

    Ingredients

    • 1 whole pumpkin

    • butter
    • brown sugar to taste

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
