Food storage is an important factor in which varieties I grow in my own food garden.

This Roasted Seminole Pumpkin is so delicious by itself that it barely needs seasoning!
ROASTED SEMINOLE PUMPKIN RECIPE
Ingredients:
6 cloves of peeled garlic (or more)
Rosemary, dry or fresh
1/4 teaspoon Salt & Pepper
olive oil
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400 degreesF.
Cut your Seminole pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Save those seeds for next season or roast them.
Slice the halves in 1/2 inch slices.
In a large mixing bowl, place the Seminole Pumpkin slices inside. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with your preferred spices. For this I used salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary. Toss to coat.
Using a large baking pan/casserole pan/cookie sheet, spread out your Seminole Pumpkin slices.
Bake uncovered for approx 25 to 350 minutes.
This was so delicious that we ate the whole pumpkin. If you have never grown a Seminole Pumpkin, they are a bit smaller than a small sugar pumpkin but definitely larger than a jack-be-little pumpkin.
I can't wait to make this again!

Someone asked about how they do in OHIO…we live in East Central Ohio, near Sugarcreek and they were AMAZING. Started these indoors in peat pots under grow lights in early to mid May, just to give them a head start. We planted them in early June in old tires filled with the best soil and compost we could find, at the base of a 16 foot cattle panel that we bent gently into an arch. 2 plants on one side and 3 on the other… they covered the arch plus the fencing to each side about 20 feet and we have 40 pumpkins to harvest this week…no powdery mildew and only saw a couple of squash bugs … did not need to support any of the pumpkins because the stems are so strong! We already roasted one and made pumpkin bread. The flesh has no strings when baked…wonderful mild sweet flavor. Definitely a winner. Need to go harvest the rest today and put them where it is warm and dry…where does one put 40 pumpkins????
Tried this recipe and my husband and I really enjoyed the Seminole pumpkin dish.
I’ll need to grow these so I can try the recipe. Looks really good!
I’m excited to try planting these next year for the first time.
I heard about you through someone else suggesting your seeds, but I can’t remember who now. I’ve been following for a few years and ordered several times!
Hmmm, I wonder how these would do in Ohio? It looks delicious and I love how well they store.
This looks really good. I love squash fixed simply so it’s flavor shines through.
