The sandy pumpkin in a pan is a tasty and crunchy side dish, gluten-free and with a spicy flavor. This recipe is very easy to make: the pumpkin is cooked in a pan with spices and aromatic herbs, then some minced sweet dried pepper is added, and finally, a sandy coating is made (with gluten-free breadcrumbs and grated pecorino cheese). This sandy pumpkin in a pan amazed me with its irresistible taste and was a huge success!
