Baked Pumpkin and Onion Slices

Submitted by Belinda in Austin

"My former co-worker made this for our Fall Harvest pot luck, and it was a huge hit! I didn't think I liked pumpkin too much, but this ends up being so sweet and tender, with carmelized onions...yum!!! I'm posting this, mainly so that I won't ever lose the recipe, again, as that co-worker (Priscilla) is moving to CA!"

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 pie pumpkin (I found this at Whole Foods, mine was 2 1/2 pounds)
• 1 large sweet onion
• salt and pepper, to taste
• brown sugar, to taste
• 1⁄2 cup butter, melted

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Peel and slice the pumpkin (removing any seeds and stringy flesh), and the onion.
3. Layer the pumpkin and onion in a small, rectangular baking dish, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Repeat the layer, and season.
5. Cover with a layer of brown sugar.
6. Pour melted butter over the top (I think you could use 1/2 to 3/4 stick of butter, to cut back).
7. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, or longer, until tender and carmelized.
