They can be steamed, cooked into porridge,made into rice gruel, mashed and juiced,rubbed to make steamed buns, or baked into bread and cakes,basically every way I've tried. A few days ago, I suddenly thought of baking a pumpkin that I had just bought.The taste was really great! Even my grandmother liked it, which is not easy to achieve!This method is extremely simple; just mix the pumpkin and place it in an air fryer, then turn on and forget about it. I added some garlic cloves for a bit of garlic flavor.The baked garlic itself was also very delicious.Ingredients Main ingredients500g pumpkin, one head of garlic, olive oil as needed, salt and pepper to taste.
