Creating Roasted Pumpkin at home is a delightful task. Follow these simple steps:

3. Cut into Segments: Slice the pumpkin into wedges or cubes, depending on your preference.
4. Season the Pumpkin: In a large bowl, toss the pumpkin pieces with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any additional spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
