Baked pumpkin with honey
Autumn is the time for warm blankets and hot tea, and to brighten up the cold days, it's essential to prepare dishes from pumpkin. These can be various pumpkin salads, stews, and other main courses, as well as desserts. One of my favorite desserts is baked pumpkin with honey. The recipe is incredibly simple, but the result is just as wonderful. Slices of tender, juicy pumpkin soaked in sweet honey, smelling of fragrant cinnamon – it’s simply unimaginable! This dessert perfectly replaces any cookies and other sweets for tea, which will positively impact your figure and bring only benefits to your body.
This dish consists of just a few ingredients. Besides pumpkin, there is honey, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Thanks to them, the pumpkin becomes truly tasty and fall-aromatic. After making baked pumpkin in the oven with honey, you'll realize that cinnamon goes perfectly not only with apples but also with pumpkin.
