An easy pumpkin bake with creamy coconut milk and bacon in one dish. Seasoned with spices and fresh thyme is easy and quick to make and best to be served as a side dish for dinner.
In a larger bowl or baking dish toss pumpkin strips with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste (or mix olive oil with salt and pepper separately and brush each pumpkin layer with it).
Arrange the pumpkin in one layer in a baking dish 9x13 or slightly smaller (I used a 12 x 7 inches dish).
Follow with a layer of bacon covering the pumpkin layer. Repeat 1 time and finish with one more layer of pumpkin strips. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepot add coconut milk and spices. Simmer for 5 minutes over low-medium heat, enough for the spices to open and be fragrant.
Pour over the pumpkin and bacon layers. Add feta cheese all over the sauce and a few sprigs of fresh thyme. Bake at 425 F for 25-35 minutes.
