Pumpkin is a vegetable rich in vitamins A and C, making it a powerful antioxidant. It also contains folic acid, which plays a role in the health of our nervous system. Additionally, it is high in fiber, which promotes the functioning of the intestinal tract.

We can also take advantage of the seeds of the pumpkin, which are rich in omega 3 and cucurbitacin, which prevents prostate cancer. It is recommended to eat them raw so that heat does not cause them to lose their properties.

Look at the steps of the Bacon Pumpkin recipe:

Peel the pumpkin, cut it into medium pieces, and place it in a pot. Cover it with water and add salt to taste. Let it boil until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain it and set it aside in a dish.

In the pan, put the bacon to brown. Let it release all the fat. When it is crispy or to your liking, pour it over the squash that you reserved earlier.

Sprinkle pepper and oregano to your taste. Serve hot.
