Pork with pumpkin in the oven

So bright and appetizing that everyone will ask for more! Pork baked with pumpkin in the oven turns out incredibly juicy and aromatic. The sweetness of the pumpkin perfectly complements and offsets the spiciness of the meat. You don’t even have to prepare a side dish - this delicious autumn vegetable will perfectly replace it.

The unusual combination of pumpkin and meat delighted me! Honestly, I have never been a fan of pumpkin, of course, I know about its super benefits, but still... But when you have such a big beautiful pumpkin at home, you have to look for cooking options to make it delicious! With this recipe for pork with pumpkin in the oven, I completely changed my idea of ​​​​pumpkin, and, to my surprise, I ate the additive and so did my husband) Instead of vegetable oil, I used mayonnaise! It turned out so delicious!
