Cut the pumpkin into thin wedges, then halve or quarter them again, depending on their size. Arrange the wedges on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, season with salt, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes until soft. Peel and pit the avocado, and cut into thick strips, then drizzle with lemon juice. Halve the mozzarella and cut into thin slices (about the size of the pumpkin and avocado pieces). Peel and press the garlic and mix with sour cream, yogurt, salt, pepper, paprika, and Tabasco until smooth. Place a piece of mozzarella on top of each warm pumpkin piece. Spread a teaspoon of cream on the mozzarella, then top with a piece of avocado, adding salt and pepper to taste. Secure the bites with wooden skewers, if desired.
