Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lightly spray the pumpkin cubes with olive oil spray, ensuring they are lightly but evenly coated.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and dried rosemary over the pumpkin, then toss to coat the pieces evenly.
Spread the seasoned pumpkin cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
