Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Carefully peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds, and cut it into 1-inch cubes ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin cubes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground cinnamon.
Toss everything until the pumpkin cubes are well coated in the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned pumpkin cubes out evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through to promote even cooking.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pumpkin to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the roasted pumpkin as a side dish or use it as a base for salads, soups, or grain bowls.
