Ingredients
- 1-2 pie pumpkins sometimes called sugar pumpkins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut your pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. (Head to this recipe here to find out how to roast your seeds!) Place cut side down on the baking sheet and roast for 45-60 minutes until it can be easily poked with a fork. Remove from the oven and allow the pumpkin to cool completely.
- Use a spoon to remove the softened flesh from the inside of the pumpkin and discard the skin. Press through a potato ricer or use a food processor to blend it up. If you are using a potato ricer you may have to scrape any fibrous pumpkin off the bottom and top of the plate before pressing more through.
- Refrigerate pureed pumpkin in an airtight container or freeze in a freezer bag.
