slice the upper halve of the pumpkin in 2 mm thin discs
lay them on a tea towel, sprinkled with a bit of salt, for about 30 min
pat dry
grease a baking tray with olive oil and put the pumpkin slices on it
roast for a few minutes in the oven at 200 degree celcius
until slightly brown
cut the other pumpkin halve in tiny cubes
