How to make
With the skin, because it is the classic way to cook the most delicious pumpkin.
The pumpkin is washed very well with a sponge under running cold water to remove all external dirt (dust, soil) from the skin.
It is dried and cut into pieces without peeling the skin.
Pumpkin seeds are scooped with a spoon. Do not throw them away, but dry them or bake them in the oven with a little salt, water, and flour. They are very beneficial when raw, and when baked are extremely tasty.
Arrange the pumpkin pieces face down in a greased baking tray.
Pour two coffee cups of water on the bottom of the baking tray. If your tray is larger, add extra water. The water should cover a finger from the bottom of the pan.
Each piece of pumpkin is sprinkled nicely with sugar. If desired, you can sprinkle the pumpkin pieces with vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon.
Place in the oven at a moderate temperature 360°F (180 degrees) and bake until done. After about 20 minutes you can place it higher in the oven to caramelize and redden nicely the top. Serve the roasted pumpkin slightly chilled.
Enjoy your meal!
