Ingredients
- 1 small pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash the pumpkin thoroughly and pat it dry.
Step 3
Carefully cut the pumpkin in half using a sharp knife and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. You can save the seeds for roasting later if you wish.
Step 4
Cut the pumpkin into 1-inch thick wedges or cubes, depending on your preference.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin pieces with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, ground cinnamon, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
Step 6
Arrange the seasoned pumpkin pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 7
Scatter the fresh thyme sprigs over the pumpkin for added fragrance during roasting.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and the edges are golden brown, turning the pieces halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and discard the thyme sprigs.
Step 10
Serve the roasted pumpkin warm as a side dish or as a component of a larger meal.
