Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 6-8 tartines
Ingredients:
- 500 g pumpkin
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon margarine (or butter for a richer taste)
- A pinch of cinnamon
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 1 loaf of bread (ideally homemade or a baguette)
- 10 whole walnuts
- Oil for drizzling
Step by step:
1. Preparing the pumpkin: Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F). Wash the pumpkin, then cut it into slices about 2-3 cm thick. Make sure to remove the seeds and fibrous parts. Drizzle the slices with a little oil to help them brown evenly.
2. Roasting the pumpkin: Place the pumpkin slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then put them in the oven for about 20 minutes. Check occasionally to see if the pumpkin has softened and turned golden.
3. Making the pumpkin cream: Once the pumpkin is roasted, take it out of the oven and let it cool slightly. Using a spoon, scoop the flesh from the skin and place it in a bowl. Add the sugar, vanilla sugar, margarine, and cinnamon. Mash everything with a mixer or a fork until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream.
4. Preparing the bread: Cut the bread into slices about 1-2 cm thick. You can use whole grain bread for a rustic taste or a baguette for a crunchier texture. Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet and put them in the oven for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
5. Assembling the tartines: Remove the slices of bread from the oven and generously spread the pumpkin cream on them.
6. Decorating the tartines: Break the walnuts in half and place them on top of each tartine for extra crunch and delicious flavor.
7. Serving: Roasted pumpkin tartines are best served warm, immediately after preparation. You can pair them with a yogurt sauce or a green salad for a fresh contrast.
Useful tips:
- If you want to add extra flavor, you can incorporate other spices like nutmeg or ginger into the pumpkin cream.
- Instead of margarine, you can use butter for a richer taste and creamy texture.
- These tartines can be customized with various types of nuts or even roasted pumpkin seeds for a more attractive appearance.
