Preheat oven hot air stage to 220° C.

Wash and dry the pumpkin.

Then cut the pumpkin into 1 cm thick slices and remove the stalk and seeds – with a spoon.

Preparation step 3

3. Which Pumpkin may be put in the Oven

I prefer to buy smaller pumpkins with stems and make sure that there are no soft spots or even pressure marks. When the pumpkin is ripe, it sounds slightly hollow when you knock on the skin and also has a wooden stem.

My choice for this recipe is the Hokkaido Pumpkin. I do not need to peel it. Other varieties like the butternut pumpkin or nutmeg pumpkin should be peeled.

Use small pumpkins for the oven preparation, they are more aromatic.

4. Accompanying Ideas for Squash in the Oven

Our pumpkin in the oven has company in three phases:

Phase 1: The accompaniments in the oven are onion, young garlic, rosemary and other spices.

Phase 2: Goat’s cheese with a little brown sugar is separately browned with a Crème Brûlée distiller.

Caramelized goat cheese — Caramelised goat’s cheese is excellent with a Crème Brûlée burner.

Phase 3: Fresh figs are quartered and added to the baked pumpkin and caramelised goat’s cheese.

Quartered figs — Fresh figs harmonise with goat cheese and pumpkin.

This is what makes the beautiful picture on my baking tray – step by step preparation.
Advises you the cook Thomas Sixt

Baked Hokkaido pumpkin with caramelized goat cheese and fresh figs – you must try the garlic, it is a poem hmmm…

caramelized onions — Caramelised onions taste excellent and go well with pumpkin.

5. What goes well with pumpkin from the oven?

You can eat this pumpkin from the oven as a vegetarian main course.

You can also add a fine rice or salmon to your plate, for example. Of course I have already worked out some great ideas for you:

Risotto as a great addition
Salmon works excellently
Fish is always a good idea
Spinach harmonises with pumpkin
Salad is the crunchy friend of the oven pumpkin

The spices used in this recipe are: fresh rosemary, salt, black or white pepper, preferably fresh from the mill. The red dots on the baking tray are shinus fruits, often called red pepper.
