Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Wash and pat dry the pumpkin.
- Place the pumpkin on a flat surface and cut the pumpkin in half from top to bottom. Cut just under the top stem of each pumpkin to remove the stem.
- If using a pumpkin larger than 5 pounds, cut the halves into thirds for more manageable pieces.
- Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy flesh part of each cut portion of the pumpkin.
- Place the pumpkin halves cut-side down onto the sheet pan. If you have thirds, place them so one of the cut-side is down and the skin isn’t on the sheet pan.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until the flesh is soft and pulls away from the skin, and is easily pierced with a knife. Baking time will vary with the size of the pumpkins.
- Let cool for about 1 hour. Using your hands, peel the pumpkin skin away from the soft flesh and transfer the flesh to a food processor. You can also use a spoon to scoop the flesh from the skin if that’s easier.
- Puree until smooth, for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If your puree is more watery, strain the excess liquid by letting it sit in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl for 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can strain it through a cheesecloth and squeeze out the liquid.
- Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container in the fridge.
