Ingredients
- 2 pounds pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Begin by washing the pumpkin thoroughly to remove any dirt. Use a sharp knife to carefully halve the pumpkin and remove the seeds and pulp with a spoon.
Step 3
Cut the pumpkin into evenly sized wedges or cubes, approximately 1 inch thick, for consistent cooking.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Stir well to form a seasoning blend.
Step 5
Add the pumpkin pieces to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned pumpkin pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the pumpkin for about 35-40 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Step 8
Remove the pumpkin from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Taste, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 9
Serve the roast pumpkin warm as a side dish or a wholesome snack.
