Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and fibers. Cut the pumpkin into 2 cm (about 1 inch) thick wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary.
Add the pumpkin wedges to the bowl and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Arrange the pumpkin wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the pumpkin in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through, until they are golden and tender.
Remove the pumpkin from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a snack.
