Ingredients for the pumpkin parmigiana
As you will see, we will use very few ingredients, which will make our parmigiana tasty yet light and suitable for any diet. It’s a vegetarian dish, but you can enrich it as you wish.
- 14 oz pumpkin (I used delica)
- 7 oz smoked provola
- to taste grated parmesan
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Procedure for light pumpkin parmigiana
We will use raw pumpkin, which will greatly reduce the preparation time and make it drier.
Slice the delica pumpkin, trying to make slices as similar in size as possible. Let’s get our baking dish ready.
Grease the bottom with a little oil and arrange a layer of pumpkin slices. Then add the cubed provola and a sprinkle of parmesan. A pinch of salt and pepper and on to the second layer just like the first.
Continue until the ingredients are used up, finishing with the pumpkin. Do a final sprinkle of parmesan and add a drizzle of oil, which will allow us to create a nice crust.
We can cook our pumpkin parmigiana in the microwave oven, using the microwave and grill combo at 650w for about 20 minutes.
Alternatively, bake in a ventilated oven at 356°F for 30 minutes, activating the grill in the last 5 minutes.
