How to Roast Pumpkin

Roasting pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and enhances its flavor. To roast, simply cut the pumpkin into wedges or cubes, remove the seeds, and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Arrange the pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer and season with salt if desired. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and lightly caramelized at the edges. Roasted pumpkin is perfect for soups, salads, or as a side dish, with its slightly crispy exterior and soft, sweet interior.
