Roasted Pumpkin with Rosemary and Thyme

4 cups fresh pumpkin cubed (about 1 inch)
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 TBL fresh rosemary
1/2 tsp thyme dried
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F
Cover a cookie sheet with parchments paper, set aside.
If you have a whole pumpkin, you will want to cut it in half and scrape out all of the seeds. Then slice into wedges that are about 1 - 2 inches thick. Cut the skin off and cut the pumpkin into cubes about 1 - 2 inches in size
In a medium bowl, place the pumpkin, olive oil, and spices. Stir well.
Pour the pumpkin mixture on the cookie sheet. Make sure the pumpkin is in a flat layer.
Bake for about 45 minutes or until a fork easily passes in the pumpkin.
