sweet onion, peeled and quartered, optional |
2-3 tablespoons |
olive oil |
|
salt and pepper |
1 tablespoon |
fresh thyme and or sage |

Pumpkin does not require peeling. Cut the unpeeled pumpkin in halves. Use a spoon to scoop out the membranes and seeds. If you wish to roast the seeds, separate them from the membranes and set aside. Directions below. |
Once the pumpkin is cleaned, cut it into 2-3 inch size chunks or boat like wedges. |
Transfer to 1 or 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper and gently toss with olive oil, prepared onion, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. |
Put the trays into the preheated oven and roasted for about 40 minutes or until cooked thoroughly and golden brown. |
Serve immediately. It will keep in the refrigerator for a couple of days. Reheat with a teaspoon of olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. |
