# How to Make It:
01 - Set the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Place pumpkin slices in a large circle on the prepared baking sheet to create a pumpkin face outline.

04 - Drizzle olive oil evenly over the arranged vegetables. Sprinkle smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper on top.
05 - Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until all vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
