Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium pumpkin (peeled, deseeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the cubed pumpkin in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the pumpkin cubes and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, paprika, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the pumpkin cubes and toss until the pumpkin is well coated with the spices.
Spread the seasoned pumpkin cubes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single, even layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the pumpkin cubes halfway through cooking, until they are tender and caramelized around the edges.
Remove the pumpkin from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer the spiced pumpkin to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish, or enjoy it as a light, flavorful autumn snack.
