Pumpkin is an unfairly forgotten vegetable. It has a delicate sweetish taste, rich nutritional value and pleasant aroma. It is a great ingredient in many diets, especially weight loss, and healthy eating menus. This sweet bright orange beauty can be made into a variety of great dishes. The most popular are pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin porridge, baked goods, etc. I have previously shared these wonderful recipes, and you can find them on the pages of our website. This time I want to share a recipe for oven-baked pumpkin with garlic, honey and lemon. This spicy dessert is good as an independent dish, both warm and chilled. The recipe is simple and tastes great. Suitable for people who eat a diet or keep church fasts.
In addition, such a baked pumpkin can be consumed not only on its own, but also used for making desserts, cereals or warm salads. After all, we are usually accustomed to boil vegetables for these dishes, and fry them for salad. And if you put a baked pumpkin with spices in porridge or a pie, then the taste of the food will significantly improve. Among other things, you can supplement the meal with all kinds of spices, herbs and spices that you prefer most.

Step-by-step recipe for baked pumpkin with garlic:
1. Prepare the dressing. In a deep bowl, combine the lemon juice, which is squeezed out of the citrus fruit. Be careful not to get any bones. Add ground cinnamon, honey, and minced garlic. Add any spices and spices to taste if desired.
2. Stir the spices until smooth so that all the spices are evenly distributed.
3. Peel the pumpkin from the hard skin. If it will be difficult to cut, then hold it in the microwave for 3-4 minutes. The skin will become softer and easier to cut. Also remove fiber seeds. Wash the vegetable under running water and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut it into slices about 4-8 mm thick, which are placed in a baking sheet in one even layer.
4. Apply the sauce evenly to each piece of pumpkin.
5. Top with more pumpkin slices and also coat with sauce. Continue to lay out the pumpkin and pour the sauce over it. But you can also spread it out in one layer on one large baking sheet.
6. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and send the dessert to bake for half an hour. The consistency of the pumpkin should be soft.
7. Serve the treat to the table, serving it with tea, coffee, a glass of white wine, or just use it on its own.
