Savory Baked Pumpkin with Garlic and Basil

Savory Baked Pumpkin with Garlic and Basil

This year, our home garden blessed us with an abundance of pumpkins. While tiring of the pumpkin galette, we stumbled upon this delightful recipe. Although I was skeptical during the cooking process, the results were astonishing, especially since the pumpkins wouldn't last without cooking. My husband eagerly had a second helping, expressing surprise at the superb taste.

We accompanied the dish with cheese and sour cream, enjoying a fulfilling and unique dinner without the need for meat or additional vegetables.

The taste is reminiscent of a blend between baked carrots and potatoes, making it a dish truly worth trying.
