- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Carefully cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and stringy insides with a spoon. Discard or save the seeds for roasting later.
Step 3
Slice the pumpkin halves into 1-inch thick wedges. No need to peel the skin as it becomes tender when roasted.

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well to mix.
Step 5
Add the pumpkin wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spiced oil mixture.
Step 6
Arrange the pumpkin slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 7
Sprinkle the fresh thyme over the pumpkin slices.
Step 8
Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender and caramelized at the edges, flipping once halfway through the cooking time.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the pumpkin warm. It's perfect as a side dish or a flavorful keto snack.
