Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Peel and cube the pumpkin into bite-sized pieces.

Toss the pumpkin with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet.

Roast the pumpkin in the oven for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.

Season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Sear the beef tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the beef for 15-20 minutes for medium-rare.

Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

In the same skillet, add butter, garlic, onion, and carrot; sauté until softened.

Add vegetable broth and balsamic vinegar, scraping up browned bits from the pan.

Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Slice the beef and serve with roasted pumpkin and sauce drizzled on top.

Garnish with fresh rosemary and grated parmesan cheese.
