Kolokythopita is a savory Greek pie made from phyllo and stuffed with a filling made primarily of pumpkin, sugar & cinnamon. Its name is a compound word which derives from “kolokýthi,” (Greek for zucchini and pumpkin , and “pita” (Greek for pie). It is generally served as a snack.
The crispy phyllo is perfect with the soft sweet filling, making it a fairly light dessert getting the most nutrition from the pumpkin (vitamin A, beta-carotene) without all that saturated fat. It can be served warm (you can reheat it in the oven before serving to get the phyllo crispy) or at room temperature.
