Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Carefully cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Save the seeds for another use, if desired.
Peel the pumpkin and slice it into evenly sized wedges, approximately 1 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground cinnamon.
Add the pumpkin wedges to the bowl and toss them until each piece is thoroughly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Arrange the seasoned pumpkin wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the pumpkin in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the pumpkin is tender and lightly caramelized at the edges.
Remove the pumpkin from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
