Roasted Pumpkin with Pumpkin Seeds

Nutritional values
Pumpkin is rich in beta-carotene. The vegetable also owes its strong orange colour to this secondary plant substance. Beta-carotene is a vegetable precursor of vitamin A. The fat-soluble vitamin is important for healthy eyes, among other things.
If you like, you can vary the herbs here at will. A tasty alternative to thyme, for example, is rosemary. Pumpkin seeds can also be replaced - for example with chopped almonds or walnut kernels.

Ingredients
Preparation steps
Rinse and dry the thyme. Rinse the pumpkin, and peel if necessary. Remove the seeds and stringy fibers, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the pumpkin on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and top with the thyme. Bake for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
