I always love winter squash. We don't get a lot of pumpkins here cheap, except for around Halloween. It's a holiday thing. Not many in the US cook them a lot anymore, which is unfortunate, because they used to be a staple. As a result they often aren't cheap, despite growing pretty easily.
I haven't really baked them with many other veggies like that though. Only a few times with sweet potatoes when I was short on time and space. I also usually just cut them in half. I'll have to give something like this a try.
Maybe a curry bake or something.
Pumpkins are staple here, although this specific variety is expensive and only seen occasionally. Since I was very little, pumpkin was a creamy soup thing, or you could also find it boiled in big chunks in broths and soups; it wasn't until about 20 years ago when I cooked my own food that I discovered baked pumpkin. For me, just delicious! I haven't been able to give it up since. It's a very versatile food; I hope to try that curry soon 😁
Thank yopu so much for dropping by, and have a wonderful day!
I find baked is one of the easier ways to cook it, because you don't have to peel it. Steamed is also really easy. Steaming it, then cooking it into something else, like a soup or sauce or pie, is a pretty easy way to cook it that doesn't take a bunch of extra time.
I like the toasted extra flavor of baking/roasting though.
Have a wonderful day as well.
Roasted!
