Pumpkin hasselback

Preheat the oven to 220 ° C. Halve the bottle gourd lengthways and remove the pips and threads. If the shell is very woody, scrape it off with a peeler. Place the pumpkin halves with the convex side up on the baking sheet and cut them into ½ cm from the bottom in width into thin slices. Keep the halves covered with plastic foil until use.

Mix in a bowl of paprika, cinnamon and freshly ground black pepper with olive oil and brush the pumpkin generously. Also grind some sea salt on top. Put here and there sprigs of rosemary and thyme between the slices.

Put the baking sheet in the oven and fry the pumpkin in 30-35 minutes until golden brown and done. Serve half the pumpkins on a large shelf.
