   Autumn is generous with its gifts. A variety of vegetables and fruits not only gives any housewife a flight of fancy, but also helps to diversify the daily menu with tasty and healthy dishes. For example, the well-known pumpkin is so versatile that you can use it to make soup, a side dish, porridge and even a wide variety of desserts - from sweets to pies with cookies. Moreover, if you know about the benefits of this vegetable for the human body, you will immediately want it to be present on the table every day.

   What's the benefit?

   The first thing that catches your eye is the bright, sunny, orange color of the vegetable, which helps drive away the autumn blues and lift your spirits. And all because of the high content of such a substance as carotenoid (there is more of it than in carrots). This is what improves vision.

   Not many people know that it is also rich in ascorbic acid, which means that regular consumption of the vegetable helps boost immunity and quickly cope with infectious and colds. It also contains a very rare vitamin - vitamin T, which improves blood clotting and promotes the formation of platelets. Pumpkin also contains a large amount of macro- and microelements, such as magnesium, calcium, copper, cobalt, phosphorus, potassium, iron and others.

   Another value of pumpkin is its fiber. It helps to easily cleanse the body of all deposits and toxins. Moreover, this is a very low-calorie product. Its calorie content does not exceed 25 kcal per 100 g, which means that it can be consumed in any quantity without fear of harming your figure.

   Thanks to its mild choleretic effect, it helps cleanse the liver and stimulates the active functioning of the digestive system. Moreover, it does not cause bloating, so people who are prone to flatulence can safely use it.

   Of course, the benefits of any product will also depend on the method of preparation. The healthiest way is to bake or steam, but baked vegetables are much tastier and richer. Especially if you use the suggested recipe. It is prepared in this way very quickly, which means it retains a maximum of vitamins and nutrients. You can also bake apples along with pumpkin - they will add a slight sourness. You can, of course, bake quince, but it takes a little longer to cook. To make the dish tastier and healthier, add chopped walnuts or other nuts to it.

Oh, how I love pumpkin baked in the oven with honey or sugar. I think one hundred percent you too. It turns out to be very tasty and quite healthy for the body. You can add nutmeg, raisins and cinnamon to it if desired. In the recipe below I will tell you how to bake pumpkin in the oven in slices. I will add that pumpkin itself is a source of pectin, as well as dietary fiber. They help the body get rid of waste, toxins and radionuclides. It also contains essential microelements, namely phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium. In addition, pumpkin contains B vitamins, vitamin A (beta-carotene), PP, plus it protects the body from bacteria entering it from outside. Pumpkin is also good for those who want to lose weight and are on a diet because of this. After all, although it itself is very nutritious, it still has low calorie content. Therefore, you can eat baked pumpkin as much as you want, without gaining excess weight. And it does not have the irritating effect that leads to discomfort in the stomach and intestines. But, for example, this effect is present in cabbage, cucumbers, beans and radishes. By the way, pumpkin seeds are also very healthy. They contain vitamin E, which is necessary for the skin, as well as microelements magnesium and zinc.

Required ingredients:

• Small pumpkin - 1 piece
• Liquid honey or sugar - to taste
• Orange or lemon juice
• Optional: cinnamon, nutmeg and raisins.

Recipe:

1. Wash the pumpkin, dry it, then cut it and remove the seeds. Then cut it into slices, the thickness of which should be one centimeter.
2. Take a baking sheet, cover it with baking paper, and place pumpkin slices on top of the paper. Next, sprinkle them with sugar or pour liquid honey. Although if the pumpkin is already sweet, you don’t have to do this. Your business. Then sprinkle nutmeg, cinnamon and raisins on top if you like. You can sprinkle a few slices and leave the rest. It will be more original this way!
3. Place the baking sheet with the pumpkin in an oven preheated to 180 degrees C. Many people are not aware of this and asked me - how long should I bake pumpkin in the oven? I answer that about 30-40 minutes. You can check its readiness with a knife. If it is already soft, then you can take it out.
4. When serving this wonderful dessert, sprinkle it with powdered sugar. Then sprinkle with lemon or orange juice.

Many people know about the beneficial properties of honey, but nevertheless, few people eat this autumn vegetable - its taste is too specific. I myself love pumpkin, but my family turns their nose up at it. To remedy this situation, I periodically make this healthy dessert, which combines all the basics of a “correct” dessert: pumpkin is baked in the oven and drizzled with natural honey - what could be tastier?

To prepare such a dessert, we will need, of course, pumpkin. Mine has grown under the windows in my garden, it’s very large, so I mercilessly cut it.

I planned to bake the pumpkin in large pieces, so next I cut it like this:

My pumpkin is large, so the pieces turn out “well-fed”. Next, I make these cuts on my pieces in the upper part. This needs to be done so that the honey that we will pour on top of the pumpkin will mix with the pumpkin juice during the baking process and add a little sweetness to the pumpkin itself.

Now that the cuts are made, I transfer my pieces to a baking sheet, which I previously lined with foil so as not to worry about the burnt pumpkin.

Our next step is to pour honey over the pumpkin. We take any honey. I have a regular lime one.

And now all I have to do is lightly sprinkle our honey pumpkin with cinnamon. Why do I season my pumpkin with cinnamon? The fact is that it gives a pleasant spicy aroma and delicate taste to my dessert. And the color turns out beautiful - with a brownish tint.

Now that everything is ready, I place the baking sheet with the pumpkin in the oven and leave it for 40 minutes at 200 degrees. My oven is weak, so my 200 is quite likely your 180. Use your oven as a guide.

During the baking process, I do not go near the oven at all. After 40 minutes, the timer goes off and the oven turns off by itself. Baked pumpkin looks like this:

And a closer photo:

When serving, I place the pumpkin on plates and additionally place a bowl of honey on the table (for those who like it even sweeter). The taste is different, not like boiled pumpkin. The dessert turns out soft, moderately sweet and very healthy.

Bon appetit!

How to make baked pumpkin in the oven with cinnamon and sugar

There are two options for preparing this dish. The first is to wash the pumpkin, remove the seeds and cut into large pieces. A small round pumpkin is cut into about 8 pieces. Bake the cut pieces on a baking sheet for 25 minutes at 180 degrees. The skin of the baked orange fruit is very easy to remove.
To save time, you can use the second option: wash the pumpkin well, cut off the top and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Peel the peel using a vegetable peeler and cut into small cubes, the maximum size being 1 centimeter. Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil and place cubes of baked or raw pumpkin.


Sprinkle a little sugar and cinnamon on top of the pumpkin cubes.

Now grate the lemon or orange zest. If you use lemon, you will need to dilute a small amount of lemon juice with water and pour over the pumpkin cubes. There should be approximately 100 ml of liquid. It's even better to use undiluted orange juice for this recipe.


Place the baking dish in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake the pumpkin for 35 minutes if the pieces were cut from raw pumpkin, and 10 minutes if the pieces were cut from baked pumpkin. Place the dessert on plates, sprinkle with walnuts, and pour honey. If the honey is candied, it is better to add it 10 minutes before it is ready and stir the pumpkin. It can be served either hot or completely cooled.
