250 grams (9 oz) oat biscuits
1 tbsp ginger powder

3 cm ginger root
Half cup of water
5 tbsp sugar

Instructions:

1. First, remove seeds from pumpkin. Do not through away, you can bake them and eat. Pumpkin seeds are very healthy.
2. Slice pumpkin and place it on the baking tray. Bake in preheated oven 180 °C or 350 °F until soft – about 30 minutes, depending on how thick your pumpkin slices are. Let it cool.

Heat the ginger in the pan with sugar and half of ginger water that you extracted previously. Cook, stirring frequently, until water evaporates and sugar becomes browned – that is your candied ginger.
