Creating Caramelized Pumpkin Wedges with Brie Melt & Maple-Walnut Crumble is a simple yet rewarding process. You’ll start by prepping your ingredients and then focus on roasting, which enhances the natural sweetness of the pumpkin.

This method not only builds flavor but also creates beautiful textures that pair wonderfully together.
