Pin Recipe Instructions
- Turn on the oven to heat up to 200 degrees.
- Rinse the pumpkin, remove the inner fibrous part with seeds, and tough peel. Cut the peeled pumpkin pulp into medium cubes.
- Add vegetable oil to the pumpkin bowl and stir until all sticks are covered with oil. Combine salt, black pepper, paprika, granulated garlic, and starch in a separate bowl. Toss and add this mixture to the pumpkin. Stir until all the squash cubes are covered with this mixture.
- Place the pumpkin sticks in one layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes (baking time depends on the size of the pumpkin sticks and your oven).
- I had small slices of pumpkin ready after 25 minutes of baking. Remove the prepared pumpkin sticks from the oven and cool slightly.
- Rinse the parsley, shake, cut off the stalks and finely chop the leaves. Grate the hard cheese on a fine grater.
- Stir in chopped cheese and parsley.
- Sprinkle the mixture over the pumpkin sticks.Stir the baked pumpkin sticks with cheese and spices and serve!
