Cooking steps

1. Crush a couple of garlic cloves and place them in a baking dish. Top with small or large pieces of pumpkin. Drizzle with oil mixed with syrup, salt, pepper, and herbs. For spiciness, you can add hot pepper. It elegantly balances between garlic and maple pumpkin.

   • Ground black pepper:  to taste
   • Scotch Hot Pepper:  to taste
   • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
   • Maple syrup: 1 teaspoon
   • Provencal herbs: 0.3 teaspoon

2. Bake for 30-40 minutes. The time depends on the thickness of the pumpkin and its variety; it needs to be checked for softness.

3. While the pumpkin is baking, prepare the leek. Cut it into rings. Grease the pan with coconut oil and sauté the onion with paprika.
