Ingredients
- 1 medium (approximately 2-3 pounds) Pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon, finely chopped Fresh rosemary
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Carefully cut the pumpkin in half using a sturdy knife. Remove the seeds and stringy insides with a spoon.
Step 3
Slice the pumpkin into 1-inch thick wedges. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and fresh rosemary.
Step 5
Add the pumpkin wedges to the bowl and toss them well to coat each piece evenly with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Step 6
Arrange the seasoned pumpkin wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece for even roasting.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the pumpkin for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking, until the pumpkin is tender and lightly caramelized.
Step 8
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pumpkin rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a tasty low-carb side dish or snack.
