Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 1 medium cooking or pie pumpkin, 3 to 4 pounds

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
  • Cut pumpkins in half along the equator.
  • Scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp in the center.
  • Place pumpkin halves (cut side down) on the prepared pan and roast until they are soft, about an hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. You can tell they are done if you carefully press on the outer skin and the meat gives way underneath. You can also test with a fork to see if they are tender.
  • Allow the pumpkin to cool. Scoop the flesh out with a spoon and puree in a food processor or with a food mill.
