Preparation of baked pumpkin and potatoes
Let’s prepare our side dish by thoroughly cleaning the pumpkin. Wash it and remove seeds and fibers. You can decide whether to peel it or not. Dry it well and cut into chunks.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Peel them and cut them into more or less regular pieces so that they cook evenly. Leave them in cold water. Put them in a bowl with the pumpkin.
Chop the parsley and garlic and add to the breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Also chop the walnuts and mix them with the breadcrumbs. Season the pumpkin and potatoes with it, add extra-virgin olive oil. Pour everything onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Preheat the static oven to 356°F (180°C), bake and cook for about 30-40 minutes.
Storage
You can store them for a couple of days in the fridge.
