Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pumpkin between 1 to 1, 5 kg/ 1 to 3.3 lbs - (See note, small

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Prepare the pumpkin: Remove the stem. Halve the pumpkin. Remove the seeds with a spoon. If the pumpkin or squash is larger, you can cut the halves in two as well, so you will have quarters. Place them on the baking tray, cut side down.
  3. Roast the pumpkin pieces for 40 to 50 minutes or until perfectly soft, fork-tender.
  4. Peel: If using Hokkaido/Kuri squash, you will not have to remove the skin. If using another sort of pumpkin or squash, let the roasted pumpkin cool for about 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Peel it by pulling the skin away or by scooping the flesh with a spoon.
  5. Pumpkin puree: If you want to make pumpkin puree, puree the roasted pumpkin in the food processor until smooth.

Notes

  • Pumpkin type: You can use Hokkaido or Kuri squash, butternut squash, sugar pumpkin, pie pumpkin, or any other sort of small and very flavorful, sweet pumpkin or squash. Hokkaido doesn't need to be peeled.
