1-Getting hot honey roasted pumpkin just right: starts with simple steps that anyone can follow, even if you’re new to cooking. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (176°C) to ensure even roasting. This method keeps the pumpkin tender and full of that sweet-spicy flavor we love.

2-First: slice the pumpkin in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides, including seeds and strings save those seeds for snacks or other recipes. Cut the pumpkin into serving-sized wedges or strips and place them on a lined baking sheet with the cut sides up. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of paprika and salt to taste.

3-Bake: for 45 minutes, turning the wedges onto their sides every 15 minutes for even cooking, until the pumpkin is tender and easily pierced with a fork. After baking, remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, drizzle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of hot honey, and sprinkle chili flakes and fresh chopped parsley on top before serving.
