Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the pumpkin thoroughly. Cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and fibers from the center.
Slice the pumpkin into thick wedges or cubes, depending on your preference.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, fresh rosemary, and paprika.
Add the pumpkin pieces into the bowl and toss them well until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mix.
Arrange the seasoned pumpkin on a baking sheet in a single layer ensuring there is space between each piece for even roasting.
Roast the pumpkin in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the pumpkin is tender and golden brown.
Remove the pumpkin from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired and serve warm as a side dish or incorporate into salads or soups.
