Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 2 pounds) pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the pumpkin. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Discard or reserve the seeds for another use.
Cut the pumpkin halves into 1-inch thick wedges. You can peel the wedges if desired, although the peel is edible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl.
Add the pumpkin wedges to the bowl. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Toss the pumpkin wedges in the seasoned olive oil mixture until evenly coated.
Arrange the pumpkin wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Once baked, remove the pumpkin from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or as a main with a salad or grains.
