Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds pumpkin cut in 2 inch chunks (20 pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger ground
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary fresh chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 10 slices bacon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.  Place a wire rack (e.g., cooling rack, roasting rack) in a rimmed baking sheet (line your baking sheet with foil to make clean up easier if desired).
  • In a mixing bowl, toss pumpkin chunks with spices, olive oil, maple syrup and walnuts. Cut bacon slices in half.
  • Wrap each spiced pumpkin chunk in a half slice of bacon, making sure to have a few walnut pieces wrapped inside the bacon too. Place on the wire rack oriented so that the ends of the bacon slice are on the bottom (this stops them from unraveling while cooking). Repeat with every piece of pumpkin.
  • Using a spoon, drizzle any remaining spice mixture and walnut pieces from the bottom of your mixing bowl over the top of each bacon-wrapped spiced pumpkin chunk.
  • Bake for 40 minutes.
  • Optional: for crispier bacon, broil on high for 2-3 minutes after baking.
  • Remove from oven and serve!  Serving suggestion: drizzle a few drops of maple syrup over each bacon-wrapped spiced pumpkin chunk.
