Cooking pumpkin with garlic and honey
1. Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and cut into slices. The size of the pieces can be varied. The main thing is that they are not too thin, otherwise the pumpkin will turn into chips. Although this dish will be delicious, now we are preparing a completely different delicacy. The optimum thickness of the pieces is 5-8 mm.
2. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Lubricate the paper with oil as a safety net. For a more dietary meal, use vegetable oil, for a hearty one, use butter. Place the pumpkin slices on a baking sheet.
3. Place finely chopped garlic in a deep bowl. If desired, it can be passed through the press. Pour ground cinnamon there.
4. Pour honey to the products. If you are allergic to bee products, use any jam you like. For example, pumpkin, orange or lemon.
5. Knead food until smooth. Taste and add what you want as needed.
6. Pour the sauce over the pumpkin slices. To my taste, 1 tsp is enough. sauce for 1 slice of pumpkin.
7. Grate cheese and sprinkle with pumpkin slices. Determine the amount of cheese yourself according to your own taste.
8. Place the baking sheet in the oven for 30 minutes and turn on the heat to 180 ° C. Then proceed according to your preferences. Love the crispy crust and keep the baking sheet open. If you prefer soft melted cheese, cover the baking sheet with cling foil. You can also combine it, 15 minutes under the foil, 15 minutes without it, then the cheese will turn out to be stringy and slightly ruddy.
9. Remove the pumpkin from the oven, put it on a dish and treat the family. You can use it in any form: chilled or warm. Experiment as you serve and add scoop of ice cream each. For many it will seem that the products are not compatible at all. But this is not at all true!
