Ingredients
- 1 medium (around 3 pounds) Pumpkin
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Carefully slice the pumpkin in half using a sharp knife. Scoop out the seeds and stringy bits using a spoon. Save the seeds for another use if desired.
Step 3
Cut the pumpkin into wedges or cubes about 1-inch thick for even cooking.
Step 4
Place the pumpkin pieces in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Toss everything together until the pumpkin is well-coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 5
Arrange the pumpkin pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they have enough space to roast properly and aren't overcrowded.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the pumpkin is tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the pumpkin from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy as a side dish or snack.
