Roasted Pumpkin with Cheese and Seeds

Those who enjoy vegetables and light meals will appreciate roasted pumpkin with cheese and seeds as a standalone dish. Those who believe that meat should not be missing from the plate will enjoy roasted pumpkin as a side dish. Pumpkin pairs excellently with pork, beef, and lamb. The combination of sweet pumpkin flesh and salty feta cheese is excellent on its own, and for the finishing touch, you can add a bit of balsamic glaze at the end, which will pleasantly round out the dish with its sweet and sour flavor.
