Ingredients
- 2 ½ lbs Sugar pumpkin or butternut squash Halved and seeded
- 4-5 Garlic cloves Unpeeled
- 3 tbsp Crickets & Tumbleweed Arbequina Olive Oil
- 1 Sweet onion Peeled and diced
- 2 Large carrots peeled and chopped

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and cut the pumpkin into 2-inch pieces and place them into the prepared baking tray, together with the garlic cloves.
- Season pumpkin and garlic with salt and pepper, and lightly coat with C&T olive oil, then spread into a single layer.
- Place the tray on the middle rack of the oven, and roast until pumpkin is fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
