Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (approximately 2-3 pounds) Pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon, finely chopped Fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Carefully cut the pumpkin in half using a sturdy knife. Remove the seeds and stringy insides with a spoon.
Slice the pumpkin into 1-inch thick wedges. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and fresh rosemary.
Add the pumpkin wedges to the bowl and toss them well to coat each piece evenly with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Arrange the seasoned pumpkin wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the pumpkin for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking, until the pumpkin is tender and lightly caramelized.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pumpkin rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a tasty low-carb side dish or snack.
