Want to get the most out of baked pumpkin, but don't know how to make it really tasty? Pumpkin is not only a healthy autumn vegetable, but also a source of vitamin A, which strengthens the immune system and supports skin health. To preserve its beneficial properties, it is important to choose the right cooking method.

Ingredients:

• 1 small pumpkin
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Spicy herbs (rosemary, thyme) if desired

To begin, peel and seed the pumpkin, cut it into small pieces. Place on a baking sheet, grease with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and add a little spicy herbs. Bake at 180°C for 20-30 minutes until the pumpkin is soft and golden.

To preserve more vitamins, the pumpkin can be baked with the skin, and the spices give it a natural aroma. Overcooking should be avoided, as excessive heat treatment reduces the amount of nutrients.
