Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F (176C).
- Slice the pumpkin in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides (seeds and strings) until clean. Discard the strings and seeds, or you can save the seeds for later use.
- Slice the pumpkin into serving size wedges or strips (depending on how you want to serve), then set onto a lined baking sheet, cut sides up.
- Drizzle with vegetable oil, paprika, and a bit of salt to taste.
- Bake for 45 minutes, turning them onto their sides every 15 minutes for more even baking, or until they are tender to your preference - you should be able to easily pierce it with a fork. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
