Herb Roasted Pumpkin

I had wanted to make some recipes for the blog with fresh pumpkin and also savory recipes. Everyone loves pumpkin season but most recipes are all about the cinnamon and nutmeg and not the actual pumpkin. I wanted to highlight pumpkin because it is pretty awesome without all the sugar and spice and everything nice (I know, that was cheesy.) Roasted pumpkin is very similar to butternut squash in taste and texture. Obviously, they are in the same family of squash so that makes sense. I decided to use a sugar pumpkin for this recipe but you may also find it under pie pumpkin and that should work too.
