Ingredients
- 1 medium baking pumpkin (around 4 lbs in weight)
Instructions
- Cut the pumpkin in half right next to the stem and move the knife all the way around the pumpkin. Scoop out the pumpkin seeds and set them aside.
- Halve each section of the pumpkin once again. Use either a vegetable knife or a peeler to peel each segment of the pumpkin. Next, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- To boil pumpkin: simply add the pumpkin cubes to a large saucepan of water. Bring to a light simmer, and cook for 15 minutes, until fork tender. Drain when done.
- To roast pumpkin: start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper, and spread the pumpkin cubes out into a single layer. Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until crispy on the outside and fork tender.
- Purée roasted pumpkin using a blender or a food processor. Simply blend for a few minutes, until very smooth. For boiled pumpkin, you can also use an immersion blender.
- Use the pumpkin purée as desired, or refrigerate/freeze for later.
