Notes
If the pumpkin is too firm to cut, heat it for about 2 minutes in the microwave to soften it slightly and make slicing easier. Cut the slices to medium thickness, because very thick slices take longer to roast and very thin slices may fall apart. Turn the slices halfway through so both sides brown well. You can use white vinegar, apple cider vinegar or another vinegar you prefer, adjusting the flavor to taste.
