Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Transfer the seasoned pumpkin wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the fresh rosemary over the pumpkin pieces.

Step 9

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and has started to caramelize on the edges.
