Spiced Roasted Pumpkin

Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 1 small pumpkin or 1/4 large pumpkin
  • 1 tsp red chili powder or to taste
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsps avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 400 degrees f. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone mat.
  • Using a very sharp knife, very carefully cut your pumpkin in half.
  • Then, using an ice cream scoop, scoop out the seeds and insides. Save the seeds for roasting if desired.
  • Next, cut slices of pumpkin, about 1-inch thick as shown.
  • Place your pumpkin slices on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with the spices.
  • Using your hands rub spices into both sides of the pumpkin to evenly coat everything.
  • Roast for 18-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of pumpkin slices, until golden brown and fork-tender. Flip your slices over once during roasting.
  • Serve as a side or with your favorite dip.
  • Enjoy!
