Baked pumpkin with tomatoes

Time: 50 min.

Pumpkin side dishes boast an interesting, unique flavor because, while pumpkin is a vegetable, it's also sweet. This creates a stunning effect when paired with other vegetables and seasonings. For example, roast acorn squash with tomatoes. Their tartness perfectly balances the pumpkin's sweetness. Add onion, garlic, and fragrant rosemary to the vegetables. And when the vegetables are done, add some grated, salted Parmesan cheese for the finishing touch.
