Follow these simple steps to create your Autumn Spiced Roasted Pumpkin:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Pumpkin: Cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and stringy insides.
3. Cut into Wedges: Slice the pumpkin into even wedges or cubes for consistent cooking.
4. Season: In a large bowl, toss the pumpkin pieces with olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
5. Place on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned pumpkin pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. Turn the pieces halfway through to ensure even cooking.
7. Check for Doneness: The pumpkin should be tender and caramelized when done.
8. Optional Nuts: If using, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the pumpkin during the last 5 minutes of roasting for added texture.
9. Cool and Serve: Remove the pumpkin from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

These steps provide a straightforward path to creating a deliciously spiced roasted pumpkin that will be enjoyed by all.
