Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil, and coat the foil with cooking spray.
- Cut the stem off your pumpkin, then cut the pumpkin in half lengthwise.
- Remove the seeds from the pumpkin.
- Place the pumpkin halves, cut side down, on the prepared pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until pumpkin is very tender.
- Scoop the flesh out of the shells and place it in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Use immmediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 4 months.
Notes
- I recommend using a sugar pie pumpkin for this recipe. Don’t use a jack-o-lantern style pumpkin as the flesh tends to be stringy and flavorless.
- You can use a blender or food processor to make your puree. I don’t recommend using an immersion blender as it tends to make a lumpier mixture.
- If you have any trouble getting a smooth mixture, you can add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, to get to your desired consistency.
