Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 2 pounds) pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and dry the pumpkin. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Discard or reserve the seeds for another use.
Step 3
Cut the pumpkin halves into 1-inch thick wedges. You can peel the wedges if desired, although the peel is edible.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl.
Step 5
Add the pumpkin wedges to the bowl. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Step 6
Toss the pumpkin wedges in the seasoned olive oil mixture until evenly coated.
Step 7
Arrange the pumpkin wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Step 9
Once baked, remove the pumpkin from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or as a main with a salad or grains.
