Ingredients:

2 red onions
320g
1 tbsp rosemary
16g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to make sure it is hot and ready for roasting.
2. Prepare Vegetables:
- Pumpkin: Peel and seed the pumpkin, then cut it into bite-sized chunks, aiming for approximately 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
- Red Onions: Peel the red onions and cut them into wedges. Ensure the pieces are uniform in size for even roasting.
3. Seasoning:
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin chunks and red onion wedges.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables.
- Sprinkle the chopped rosemary over the top.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
4. Roasting:
- Spread the seasoned pumpkin and onion mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup if desired.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
5. Bake:
- Roast the vegetables for about 25-35 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and slightly caramelized around the edges. The onions should also be softened and slightly charred.
- Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
6. Serve:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly.
- Transfer the roasted pumpkin and red onion to a serving platter or bowl.
