Ingredients
- 1 whole small sugar pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 whole garlic cloves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Carefully cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the skin off the pumpkin. Then, cut the pumpkin flesh into 1-inch cubes.
Step 3
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the pumpkin is evenly coated with the oil and herbs.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned pumpkin cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and lightly browned. Stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Optionally, garnish with extra fresh herbs before serving.
