Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice the 1.5 lb pumpkin into 1/2-inch thick wedges, removing seeds and strings.

  2. Step 2

    Arrange pumpkin wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt. Sprinkle evenly over the pumpkin.

  4. Step 4

    Dot the pumpkin with 2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces.

  5. Step 5

    Roast for 25-30 minutes, until the pumpkin is fork-tender and the sugar is bubbling and caramelized.

  6. Step 6

    Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm, spooning any pan juices over the top.
