Oven-Baked Pumpkin With Cheese

Pumpkin is a superfood, packed with nutrients and flavour, making it a perfect standalone meal or an excellent side dish. This easy and wholesome recipe celebrates the natural sweetness of pumpkin, bringing out its best with simple preparation.

Ingredients (Serves 2-4):
1 medium butternut squash (or any pumpkin variety)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (olive oil works well)
Seasonings to taste (e.g., salt, pepper, paprika, cinnamon, or thyme)
50g grated cheese (optional, for topping)

Food Compatibility Score – 4

Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan or Gas Mark 6).

2. Wash the butternut squash thoroughly and cut it in half lengthwise.
Scoop out all the seeds and rinse them (you can roast the seeds separately as a snack).
Keep the skin on—it’s rich in vitamins and becomes soft and edible once cooked.
If using a large pumpkin, slice it into wedges no thicker than 5cm for even cooking.
Season and Bake

3. Place the pumpkin halves or slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with vegetable oil.
Brush the pumpkin with a little oil and sprinkle your preferred seasonings evenly over the top.
Roast in the oven for 60–90 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the pumpkin. Check for doneness by piercing it with a fork—it should glide through easily.

4. Once the pumpkin is tender, sprinkle grated cheese over the top (e.g., cheddar, parmesan, or any cheese of your choice).
Return to the oven for an additional 5–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.

Serve warm as a comforting main dish or a flavourful side.

Tips:
If you don’t have butternut squash, any pumpkin variety will work well with this recipe.
Experiment with seasonings: sweet spices like cinnamon and nutmeg enhance the natural sweetness, while savoury herbs like thyme and rosemary add depth.

What do we eat for?

But really what for? Different people approach this question in different ways. There are people who are clearly gluttons. They learned to get from food the greatest pleasure that often substitutes all the other human joys for them. The pleasure is what matters most in this case, they usually do not think about physical health and spirituality. And even if those thoughts come to their minds, the aroma of food on their table leads them to complete surrender.

The opposite type of people can be called ascetics. Those are giants with iron will, suppressing their feelings by all the means. Ascetics eat only when it is necessary.

The third category is probably the most numerous – it is “normal” people that live according to ideas acquired in their early childhood, such as “meat gives you strength”, “eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar” and etc. They are programmed since childhood and they do not even think about changing their nutrition (and therefore their lives).
