Creating maple roasted pumpkin is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Pumpkin: Cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp. You can save the seeds for roasting later.
3. Cut into Wedges: Slice the pumpkin into wedges or cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
4. Make the Glaze: In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
5. Coat the Pumpkin: Add the pumpkin wedges to the bowl, tossing them gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the maple glaze.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated pumpkin pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
7. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-40 minutes. Turn the pumpkin halfway through for even caramelization.
8. Check for Doneness: The pumpkin is done when it is fork-tender and has a golden-brown color on the edges.
9. Cool Slightly: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pumpkin cool for about 10-15 minutes.
10. Serve: Transfer the roasted pumpkin to a serving platter. Optional: garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color.
