Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium sugar pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the sugar pumpkin thoroughly. Cut it in half and scoop out seeds and pulp. Slice the pumpkin into 1-inch thick wedges.
Place the pumpkin wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the pumpkin and toss to coat evenly.
Add the sea salt, black pepper, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the bowl. Toss again to distribute the spices over the pumpkin pieces.
Lay the pumpkin slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring the pieces do not overlap.
Place the sprig of rosemary on top of the pumpkin slices to infuse them with its aroma while roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning the pumpkin slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Once the pumpkin is tender and caramelized around the edges, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Allow the roasted pumpkin to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a serving dish.
Serve warm, either as a side dish or a healthy snack.
