Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole small pumpkin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Carefully cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and stringy insides with a spoon. Discard or save the seeds for roasting later.
Slice the pumpkin halves into 1-inch thick wedges. No need to peel the skin as it becomes tender when roasted.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well to mix.
Add the pumpkin wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spiced oil mixture.
Arrange the pumpkin slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme over the pumpkin slices.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender and caramelized at the edges, flipping once halfway through the cooking time.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the pumpkin warm. It's perfect as a side dish or a flavorful keto snack.
