Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the diced pumpkin on the baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and toss to coat lightly. Spread evenly and sprinkle with sage, salt, and pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, melt the butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the leek and cook until softened and caramelized, roughly 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the roasted pumpkin from the oven, add it to the pan, and stir to combine.
- Preheat your outdoor grill over high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Slice the baguette at an angle into 1/2-inch slices. Brush one side of each slice with the remaining olive oil.
- Grill the slices until lightly browned, around 1.5 minutes per side.
- Once off the grill, rub the garlic clove over the oiled side of each slice 3 to 4 times. Spread goat cheese on each slice and top with a spoonful of the pumpkin-leek mixture. Drizzle lightly with the balsamic glaze and serve immediately.
