Equipment

  • 2 large cookie sheet pans
  • 1 sharp knife to cut and pare pumpkin
  • measuring spoons
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 15 pound pumpkin seeded (1 medium sized pumpkin)
  • 1 tsp. Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4-6 tbsp. olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cut pumpkin down removing seeds, pulp, and peel.
  • Cut pumpkin into one-inch cubes.
  • Spread pumpkin over top of the two cookie sheets in single layer and not crowding.
  • If you need to, add another cookie sheet.
  • Drizzle with olive oil (if you have to use three cookie sheets you may have to use all of the oil).
  • Sprinkle pumpkin cubes generously with salt and pepper.
  • Roast in 400° oven for about 20 minutes before using a spatula to turn the pumpkin over to the other side.
  • Roast another 10-20 minutes or until pumpkin is fork-tender.
  • This made approximately 2 quarts of cubed roasted pumpkin.
  • Use in casseroles, desserts, appetizers, or as desired.
  • Makes 2 quarts

Notes

NOTE: This would also be good sprinkled with cinnamon and eaten that way.
