BeslyBaked Pumpkin Dessert (Low Sugar)
By drastically reducing the sugar and letting the pumpkin slow-bake in its own natural juices, we preserve the traditional caramelized texture while keeping the calories low and adding healthy fats from walnuts.

- 800g pumpkin, peeled and sliced into large chunks · 208 kcal in the whole recipe

Method
Arrange the pumpkin slices in a baking dish and sprinkle the sugar evenly over them.
Cover and let them rest for at least 3-4 hours until the pumpkin releases its natural juices.
Bake covered in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Let it cool to room temperature, then serve topped with chopped walnuts.
