Roasted Pumpkin Spears with Parmesan

This side dish recipe  from the Paula Deen website is different from others of hers that I have tried and posted. No sugar. No butter. Mostly healthy ingredients. A nice change of pace. This is what she has to say about the recipe: This savory recipe uses the pumpkin as a “potato” by roasting it with some extra virgin olive oil and salty Parmesan cheese. Simple and straightforward, this dish is a sign in Italy that summer is over and fall has arrived!

I made a half recipe, trying to make my final fresh pumpkin stretch to as many recipes as possible. It's really good, especially straight from the oven with the parmesan gooey and warm.
