Receta Pritikin Roasted Pumpkin Wedges
Every year before Thanksgiving, the folks at Pritikin ask me to share some of Chef Anthony’s recipes with my readers. I’m always happy to do so since not only do they look delicious, but Pritikin recipes are naturally low in sodium, fat and calories.
This recipe for roasted and very-low-calorie pumpkin wedges – only about 35 calories per serving – is perfect as a Thanksgiving dinner side dish.

Pritikin Roasted Pumpkin Wedges
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized cooking pumpkin (about 5 pounds)
- Generous pinch of ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon frozen apple juice concentrate (Look for 100% apple juice concentrate in the frozen food section of your market.)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Peel pumpkin the same way you would peel melons like honeydew. Cut off top and bottom so that pumpkin “stands” steady on your surface. To keep pumpkin from moving, a wet towel underneath is helpful. Then, going from top to bottom with a sharp knife, filet the skin off. Next, cut pumpkin into long wedges. Remove pulp and seeds.
Season your wedges with cinnamon and apple juice concentrate.
On a large nonstick baking sheet, bake for 25 minutes or until browned.
Serve hot.
