Ingredients
- 1 small (~2 lbs) pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Begin by thoroughly washing the pumpkin to remove any dirt. Using a sharp knife, cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and stringy insides with a spoon.
Step 3
Cut the pumpkin into 1-inch thick slices or wedges, leaving the skin on for easier handling.
Step 4
Place the pumpkin slices in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to evenly coat each slice.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and garlic powder.
Step 6
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the pumpkin slices, making sure to coat evenly.
Step 7
Arrange the seasoned pumpkin slices on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 8
Roast the pumpkin in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip each slice over.
Step 9
Return the pumpkin to the oven and continue roasting for another 20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and golden brown around the edges.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a savory side dish or a centerpiece vegan entrée.
