Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small sugar pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the pumpkin thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues.
Carefully cut the pumpkin in half using a sharp chef’s knife. Scoop out the seeds and stringy fibers using a spoon. Reserve the seeds for another use or discard them.
Cut the pumpkin halves into wedges, approximately 1-inch thick, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the pumpkin wedges, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, black pepper, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Sprinkle this spice mixture over the pumpkin wedges and toss until the pumpkin is well coated.
Transfer the seasoned pumpkin wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.
Sprinkle the fresh rosemary over the pumpkin pieces.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and has started to caramelize on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the roasted pumpkin cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a delightful side dish or enjoy as a flavorful, healthy snack.
