Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 2-3 lbs) Pumpkin
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and stringy bits with a spoon. Slice into 1-inch thick wedges.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh thyme, chopped fresh rosemary, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Add the pumpkin wedges to the bowl and toss them well to coat evenly with the herb mixture.
Arrange the pumpkin wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pumpkin is fork-tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with lemon juice for a touch of brightness.
Serve warm, garnished with any extra fresh herbs if desired.
