Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, cut the medium pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and stringy bits. Then, cut the pumpkin into 1-inch thick wedges or cubes, whichever you prefer.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin pieces with olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, ground cinnamon, and thyme leaves.
Toss the pumpkin pieces until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned pumpkin pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and caramelized at the edges, flipping halfway through cooking.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the roasted pumpkin warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a healthy snack.
