Stuju Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Evening all (good morning to some) :cool: Are there any good cooks or chefs out there who can advise me, ( i have looked on a few websites but to no avail) I like to roast my pumpkin similar to roast spuds but having greased the tray & also tried using greased baking paper my pumpkins keep sticking to the pan and have a soggy top to them :cry: they just don't roast up like a spud therefore any suggestions would be much appreciated ( i don't have troubles with ma parsnips) so what am i doing wrong with ma pumpkin ??

Guest sheena Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 hi ya gizmo, dont think your doing anything wrong, sometimes things like these are like some potatoes that dont like to be boiled!!! just make sure the tray is non stick (i know some say they are but in truth are rubbish!) and the oil is really hot before you put the pumpkin in, enjoy!! sheena :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Broughtons Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I need to watch this site - cheers Gizmo because I have the same problem. It happens to my sweet potato too! Not so bad if I'm roasting it off for a soup but soggy roast veggies with your meat and bisto isn't a good look! Felicity:wubclub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest THE JONEZYS Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Since we lived here I never boil my spuds or pumpkin before cooking! With the pumpkin I usually chop into large chunks, drizzle in olive oil in a glass pyrex dish, season and add a sprinkle of flour and roast.

Guest kiwi Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 It has to be really dry, so use a clean tea towel or try dusting in seasoned flour and then roll each side in the oil before you put it in the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
