Notes

There's no exact recipe here - it's more of an idea for an appetizer: adjust the vegetables and the amount of marinade to your own taste.

Tips

• There are no exact proportions here - use your favorite vegetables and add the marinade to taste.
• Slice the pumpkin thin, no thicker than 0.5 cm, or it won't cook through on the pan in time.
• Bell pepper and onion pair beautifully with the pumpkin.
• Serve straight from the pan, or plated with fresh herbs.
