Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Begin by washing the pumpkin thoroughly to remove any dirt. Use a sharp knife to carefully halve the pumpkin and remove the seeds and pulp with a spoon.
Cut the pumpkin into evenly sized wedges or cubes, approximately 1 inch thick, for consistent cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Stir well to form a seasoning blend.
Add the pumpkin pieces to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Spread the seasoned pumpkin pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the pumpkin for about 35-40 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove the pumpkin from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Taste, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the roast pumpkin warm as a side dish or a wholesome snack.
