1-Let’s dive into making this hot honey roasted pumpkin it’s simpler than you might think! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (176°C) to get things nice and toasty. This step ensures even cooking and that caramelized goodness we all love.

2-Next, slice the pumpkin lengthwise in half and scoop out the seeds and pulp thoroughly. Cut it into wedges or strips that are just the right size for serving, then lay them out on a lined baking sheet with the cut sides up. Drizzle on the vegetable oil and sprinkle with paprika and salt to taste for a flavorful base.

3-Roast for about 45 minutes, flipping the pieces every 15 minutes to keep them cooking evenly. You’ll know it’s ready when the pumpkin is tender enough to pierce easily with a fork. Let it cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a dish, drizzle with hot honey, and garnish with chili flakes and chopped parsley.
