Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting.
Begin by washing the pumpkin thoroughly. Peel the pumpkin and cut it into approximately 1-inch cubes as uniformly as possible to ensure even cooking.
Place the pumpkin cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the pumpkin, and then sprinkle the chopped rosemary on top. Mix everything well, making sure each piece of pumpkin is coated evenly with the oil and rosemary.
Spread the seasoned pumpkin cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pieces; using two baking sheets may be necessary to avoid overlapping.
Place the baking sheet(s) in the preheated oven. Roast the pumpkin for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown around the edges. You can test doneness by piercing with a fork. Halfway through the roasting time, give the pumpkin a gentle stir or flip to promote even cooking.
Once the pumpkin is perfectly roasted, remove it from the oven. Let it cool slightly before serving. This simple roast pumpkin makes an excellent side dish or can be used as an ingredient in salads, soups, or grain bowls.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt and pepper to the pumpkin before roasting.
- If you prefer a sweeter version, sprinkle a little brown sugar or maple syrup over the pumpkin before baking.
- Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices like thyme, cinnamon, or nutmeg to suit your taste preferences.
- To ensure even cooking, try to cut the pumpkin cubes to roughly the same size.
- Leftover roasted pumpkin can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
This simple roast pumpkin recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy the natural sweetness and earthy flavor of pumpkin.
