Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg Pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Carefully cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Slice the pumpkin into 1-inch thick wedges.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and paprika. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.
Add the pumpkin wedges to the bowl with the seasoning blend and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated with the mixture.
Arrange the seasoned pumpkin wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make clean-up easier.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
About halfway through the roasting time, flip the pumpkin wedges to ensure even cooking and a nice roasted surface.
Once cooked, remove the pumpkin from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Optionally, garnish the roast pumpkin with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
Serve warm as a delightful side dish or a light main course, and enjoy the natural, sugar-free sweetness of the roasted pumpkin.
