Ingredients

  • 1 2-pound pumpkin
  • ⅛ cup cinnamon
  • ⅛ cup sugar
  • Spritz of vegetable oil spray

Instructions

  • Peel the pumpkin and remove the stem.
  • Slice the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and membrane.
  • Slice the pumpkin into ½-inch-thick wedges.
  • Arrange the slices in an oiled and heated iron skillet or on a baking sheet which has been lightly sprayed with vegetable oil or covered in parchment paper.
  • Mix the cinnamon and sugar together and put it in a shaker.
  • Sprinkle the wedges with the cinnamon/sugar mixture. (If you plan to simply eat the roasted pumpkin slices, then use a generous amount of cinnamon/sugar. If the plan is to make a pie with them, then just use a light sprinkle. The sugar will caramelize adding a sweetness to the pumpkin.
  • Bake at 425F for about 20 minutes or when the thick part of the slice is easily pierced with a fork.

Notes

NOTE: Store the slices in the refrigerator if they will be used in a few days otherwise you can freeze them for use later.
