Steps for Savory Roasted Pumpkin
First, remove the skin from the pumpkin and cut it into medium-sized chunks. Transfer to a large bowl and add a drizzle of oil, some dried oregano, salt, and breadcrumbs (I also added a bit of turmeric), mix well.
Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper, distribute the pumpkin pieces well, and add the pieces of garlic. Bake in a preheated static oven at 392°F and let cook for about 30 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender, in the last 5 minutes turn on the grill for a crispier effect.
The pumpkin is finally ready to be enjoyed in all its simplicity; its enveloping aroma and natural sweetness make it a truly special dish. I hope you liked this recipe, so easy and genuine, and that it can become a regular feature on your autumn tables.
Thank you sincerely for cooking with me again today. See you in the next kitchen adventure and thank you always for the wonderful trust you have shown me over the years.
