Sweet pumpkin baked in pieces with honey in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake sweet pumpkin baked in the oven pieces with honey? Prepare your food. The sweetest varieties of pumpkin will taste best with this recipe. But you can safely cook the regular one, because honey will be used when baking. The only remark is to increase its quantity a little. Always use natural honey - it is both tastier and healthier. Whether or not to add cinnamon is a matter of taste, I love it very much, so I use it.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the pumpkin thoroughly, rubbing the skin thoroughly with a brush under warm water - we will bake with it, so this is important. Cut it in half and remove the seeds. It is more convenient to do this with a spoon. Then cut the pumpkin into portions. How thick should the pieces be? This is also a matter of taste - we like large pieces, but you can cut the pumpkin into cubes. In both cases, the recipe will work, only the baking time will change.

3. STEP 3

   

   You don’t need to cut off the pumpkin skin - it will prevent the pieces from spreading. When cutting into cubes, it is better to cut off the skin. But be sure to cut off the inside of the pumpkin along with the remains of the seeds. Cut it down to the hard part.

4. STEP 4

   

   Take a frying pan or ovenproof dish. Line it with parchment. To prevent it from slipping, first remember it with your hands. Place the pumpkin, trying to keep the pieces in one layer. This way they will bake better and faster. Using a pastry brush, brush each piece with honey. For this you need liquid honey. If your honey is thick, melt it in a water bath.

5. STEP 5

   

   Sprinkle the pumpkin with ground cinnamon. You can also use other suitable spices - vanilla, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom.

6. STEP 6

   

   Bake the pumpkin in the oven, preheated to 190°C for about 40 minutes. If you cut the pumpkin into cubes, the baking time can be reduced. Look at the condition of the pumpkin - the flesh should be easily pierced with a knife. Ready pumpkin can be served either warm or cold.

I had a piece of pumpkin left over; I didn’t want to put it in the refrigerator. It's better to make a delicious, natural dessert. On the website I found a recipe for sweet pumpkin baked in pieces in the oven with honey. Everything is extremely simple and fast. The pumpkin was already cut into slices. All I have to do is brush the pieces with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon. When baking, the aroma of cinnamon appeared almost immediately. Very cozy smell. I baked the pumpkin for 30 minutes on top-bottom mode and 10 minutes under the grill. The pieces remained slightly hard on the inside, but became softer on the outside. The pumpkin was soaked in honey and became even sweeter. And the cinnamon added a pleasant aroma. This is a great dessert!

What a pity that in my house no one likes pumpkin and I don’t always have enough time to cook for myself. I think this pumpkin would be a nice addition to milk porridge, I really love this combination

Oh, I remembered my childhood, my mother prepared such baked pumpkin in sugar, before, pumpkin was cooked often and grown a lot, and how delicious it is baked, thank you, Ilga, for reminding me of such a wonderful recipe, it turns out fibrous, with a lot of fiber, tender and fragrant, just wonderful, and if the pumpkin is sweet and beautiful in color, it will make an excellent dessert. I plant honey and pineapple varieties - they are so beautiful and the flesh is the most tender)))
