Step 1:
Prepare the products necessary for cooking pumpkin fried in a frying pan. You will need the pumpkin itself, the kind that you prefer. You will also need salt, vegetable oil for frying (so that it does not foam) and a little dried or fresh thyme for flavor. Also take a frying pan with a good coating.
Step 2:
If the pumpkin is large, then for convenience, cut it into large pieces with a sharp knife. From each piece, cut off the hard skin, as well as the soft fibrous part of the core, so that a homogeneous dense pumpkin pulp remains.
Step 3:
Cut each piece of pumpkin into plates about 4-5 mm thick. The form can be any. The size is not very big, but also not very small.
Step 4:
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. Put thyme and ground black pepper in the oil, if the spices sizzle, then the oil is well warmed up. Carefully place the pumpkin slices in a frying pan and fry on both sides until the pumpkin is soft and slightly appetizing browning.
Step 5:
Put the finished pumpkin slices on a plate covered with paper napkins or towels so that excess oil is absorbed. Each portion of fried pumpkin is lightly salted, it is advisable to use fine salt for this. Pumpkin fried in a frying pan is ready! It can be served both hot and chilled. According to your taste, you can supplement the pumpkin with chopped fresh herbs
