Baked pumpkin is very easy to prepare and lends itself as a side dish to meat-based main courses, or you can use it as a base for ravioli stuffed with pumpkin.
I often prepare this recipe during the winter period and accompany it with meat dishes such as chicken wings, turkey legs and meatloafs.
Pumpkin cooked in this way is a real cure-all after the Christmas holidays. It is a light dish that gives satiety, you could serve it with lean meat cooked on the grill or boiled or with hard-boiled or soft-boiled eggs.

Tools
Preparation of baked pumpkin:
For this type of recipe I use Delica pumpkin (in Italy it’s easily to find and it has Japanese origin) or Atlantic giant gourd.
BakCut the pumpkin into 2 cm thick slices. Remove the peel and wash the pumpkin, dry it well with absorbent paper from the kitchen and then cut it into cubes.
Put the pumpkin in a bowl, add the oil and spicy paprika to taste, season with salt and pepper and mix with your hands, so as to better distribute the oil.
Pour the pumpkin onto a non-stick baking sheet or the drip pan of the oven with a sheet of paper oven.
Space the pieces of pumpkin well apart and add a clove of garlic and rosemary.
Cook at 200 ° C / 392 ° F for 20 minutes, now flip the squash pieces and cook for another 10/15 minutes, until the squash is browned.
Serve immediately.
