Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the stem from each pumpkin. Then, slice each pumpkin in half lengthwise. Use a large spoon to scoop out all of the seeds and discard or save them for roasting.
- Place the pumpkin halves flesh side down on a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the pumpkins start to separate from the skin and partially collapse.
- Use a spoon to scoop out the pumpkin flesh. The skin should separate from the flesh easily.
- Place the flesh in the bowl of a large food processor or blender. Puree until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- Place the puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Use the puree in any of your favorite pumpkin recipes.
