Sweet Orange Baked Pumpkin

Overview

There are many benefits to eating pumpkin in autumn - the climate is dry in autumn, and many people, especially children, are prone to dry skin, nosebleeds, dry lips, etc., so they need to increase their intake of vitamin A and vitamin E. Pumpkin is not only rich in vitamin E, but also rich in beta carotene. After being absorbed by the body, beta carotene can be converted into vitamin A. If pumpkin is used to replace some staple foods, it can also make the stool smooth, lose weight and improve beauty. Many elderly people like to eat pumpkin without adding anything. They just steam it and they love it. But children are different. How to make children fall in love with eating pumpkins? Try my sweet Orange Baked Pumpkin - the old pumpkin is soaked in freshly squeezed orange juice and maple syrup, then roasted in the oven until it is ripe, soft, sweet and delicious. If you don’t have maple syrup, use honey instead. It’s also extra sweet and moist——

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Ingredients: pumpkin and orange. It is best to use old pumpkin, the older it is, the more delicious it is. The small green pumpkin I bought has been stored for a while, and the skin has turned yellow, which is also very delicious. Use fresh oranges, or if you don’t have it, use concentrated orange juice. I think it tastes good too.

   

2. 2 Wash the pumpkin, peel it and cut it into about 1cm thick slices; (the skin is more nutritious and has a rich taste, you can peel it if you don’t like it)

   

3. 3 Wash the fresh oranges, remove the zest, and squeeze the orange juice; (because orange zest is used, the orange peel must be cleaned, washed, soaked, rubbed with salt, and scalded in boiling water)

   

4. 4 Add maple syrup to orange juice; (Maple syrup is a very healthy natural sweetener. You can’t use honey, and you can’t really add some sugar)

   

5. 5 Add cinnamon powder;

   

6. 6 Stir evenly and set aside;

   

7. 7 Take a larger baking pan and spread half of the orange zest on the bottom;

   

8. 8 Spread pumpkin slices evenly;

   

9. 9 Sprinkle evenly with maple syrup and orange juice;

   

10. 10 Sprinkle with the other half of the orange zest;

    

11. 11 Cover the baking sheet with a layer of tin foil, place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees, and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, until the pumpkin is cooked and soft.

    

12. 12 Eat it! It’s fragrant and sweet, with a rich fruity and cinnamon aroma – the best pumpkin ever!
