Ingredients
- 1 kg Pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Carefully cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Slice the pumpkin into 1-inch thick wedges.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and paprika. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.
Step 4
Add the pumpkin wedges to the bowl with the seasoning blend and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated with the mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned pumpkin wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make clean-up easier.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 7
About halfway through the roasting time, flip the pumpkin wedges to ensure even cooking and a nice roasted surface.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the pumpkin from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Optionally, garnish the roast pumpkin with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
Step 10
Serve warm as a delightful side dish or a light main course, and enjoy the natural, sugar-free sweetness of the roasted pumpkin.
