Carefully cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and stringy bits using a spoon.
Peel the pumpkin and cut it into approximately 2-inch cubes.
Place the pumpkin cubes in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the pumpkin cubes, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the pumpkin.
Use your hands or a spatula to toss the pumpkin cubes until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Spread the pumpkin cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the pumpkin cubes are tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm as a delicious keto-friendly side dish.
