Preparation of Sandy Pumpkin with Bacon
Clean the pumpkin by removing the waste parts and skin, then cut it into thick slices and finally into large pieces. Put them in a bowl and rinse well, then drain the pumpkin pieces thoroughly.
In the bowl with the pumpkin, add salt and oil and mix with two spoons. Then add the breadcrumbs, rosemary, and bacon cut into pieces and mix until everything is combined.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper, pour in the sandy pumpkin, and spread it with a spoon. Preheat the oven to 482°F.
Once the oven is hot, bake the pumpkin and cook for 25 minutes, stirring (with the wooden spoon) halfway through cooking. Once cooked, take it out of the oven and serve the pumpkin hot or warm with fresh parsley if you like!
