Question: To prepare pumpkin for roasting in the oven.
Option 0: Preheat oven to 325. Cut the stem off the sugar pumpkin, then slice pumpkin into quarters. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl (set flesh and seeds aside) and brush the pumpkin pieces with olive oil. Sprinkle each piece with salt (about 1/2 tsp) and freshly ground black pepper (about 1/4 tsp). Prick the pieces with a spoon a few times and roast in the oven until pumpkin is very tender, approximately 2 hours.
