Ingredients:

8 cups pumpkin
960g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 tsp honey
6g
1 tsp ground cumin
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Pumpkin:
Peel the pumpkin and remove the seeds. Cut the pumpkin into uniform cubes, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in size. This ensures even roasting.
3. Season the Pumpkin:
In a large mixing bowl, place the pumpkin cubes. Drizzle the olive oil over the pumpkin.
4. Add the Honey:
Measure out 2 teaspoons of honey and drizzle it over the pumpkin cubes in the mixing bowl.
5. Season with Cumin:
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of ground cumin over the pumpkin. This spice will add a warm, earthy flavor to the dish.
6. Combine Ingredients:
Toss the pumpkin cubes in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the olive oil, honey, and cumin. Ensure that all the pieces are well seasoned.
7. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
Spread the seasoned pumpkin cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. For best results, line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
8. Roast the Pumpkin:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the pumpkin for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the pumpkin is tender when pierced with a fork. Stir the pumpkin halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
9. Serve:
Once roasted, remove the pumpkin from the oven. Let it cool slightly before serving. This dish can be served warm as a side dish or added to salads, grains, or enjoyed on its own.
10. Storage:
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Tips:

- Choose a firm, ripe pumpkin for the best texture and flavor.

- Cut the pumpkin into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

- Feel free to experiment by adding other spices like paprika or garlic powder for added complexity.

- Lining your baking tray with parchment paper can make cleanup easier and prevent the pumpkin from sticking.

- Turn the pumpkin pieces halfway through cooking for even roasting.
