Chipotle roasted pumpkin

I took a crack at this as an attempt to do something different from the regular way people spice pumpkin.  I thought the spice would balance out the sweet nicely, and it totally does.  The measurements here are kind of a guess.

Ingredients

1 pie pumpkin, seeds removed, cut in to wedges, rind removed if you can manage it

1/2 tablespoon chipotle powder

1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons sugar

salt to taste

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (if your chipotle powder isn’t spicy enough for you)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Mix the spices together in a bowl.  Take the wedges and roll them in the spices to coat them.  Arrange them on a cookie sheet (or maybe two, depending on how big your pumpkin is).  Once the oven is hot, bake them for 20-25 minutes.  Remove and eat as soon as possible.
