TIPO DI RICETTA: Side dish
CUCINA: Italian
PORZIONI: 2
INGREDIENTI
  • ½ pumpkin (I used a Neapolitan Long Pumpkin but you can use other kinds of tasty pumpkin instead)
  • 2 red onions
  • red garlic
  • pine nuts
  • fresh thyme
  • fresh rosemary
  • salt
  • pepper
  • extra virgin olive oil
COME PROCEDERE
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Wash and dry the Neapolitan Long Pumpkin. Using a sharp knife, cut it into wedges (about 1 cm thick) and remove the seeds.
  3. Use some different star-shaped cookie cutters to cut some little stars out of the pulp.
  4. Cover a baking sheet with baking paper lightly greased and place the pumpkin stars on it.
  5. Peel the onions and slice each of them into 6 wedges.
  6. Place them on the baking sheet with the pumpkin.
  7. Add some unpeeled cloves of garlic pressed, the aromatic herbs and the pine nuts.
  8. Add a generous pinch of salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with oil.
  9. Bake for about 12/15 minutes or until the vegetables are as tender and golden brown as you like them.
  10. Serve hot.
NOTE
You can roast the left-overs of the pumpkin with aromatic herbs or your favourite spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, cayenne…) according to your taste and enjoy as a side dish or you can make an healthy and easy soup or pureed soup.
