Ingredients
- 1 whole Small pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Carefully cut the pumpkin in half using a sharp knife. Scoop out the seeds and stringy bits using a spoon. You can save the seeds for roasting separately if desired.
Slice the pumpkin into 1-inch wedges or 1-inch cubes, depending on your preference for presentation.
Place the pumpkin pieces in a large bowl. Add olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss well to coat all the pieces evenly with oil and spices.
Arrange the pumpkin pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the pumpkin is tender and edges are golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Simple Roasted Pumpkin as a side dish or a healthy snack!
