Enhancing Flavor with Spices
Don’t be afraid to play with spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are classics, but a pinch of cardamom or cloves can elevate your dishes to new heights. Adjust to your taste preference for a personalized touch.
Perfect Roasting Techniques
When roasting pumpkin, cut it into even pieces to ensure they cook evenly. A drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt before roasting will enhance the natural sweetness and ensure a rich, caramelized finish.
