Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut the pumpkin in half, and remove the seeds and membrane.
- Drizzle olive oil and salt over the pumpkin. Optionally, add smoked paprika and chili flakes.
- Set pumpkin cut-side down on a baking sheet, and roast 40-50 minutes or until tender.
- Remove pumpkin from the oven, scoop the pumpkin out, and discard the skin. Tip: If a little bit of skin ends up in the purée, it's okay. It's edible.
- Skip the Blender (Option 1):If you're eating the pumpkin as a side dish, adding it to a dish that will be puréed after adding the pumpkin, or adding it to a dish where it doesn't matter if the pumpkin is silky smooth, you can stop here.Blend the Pumpkin (Option 2):For extra-smooth pumpkin purée, add the pumpkin to a blender or food processor. If your blender struggles, add a splash of water while blending, but you shouldn't need to!
- Serve immediately as a side dish, or add to a recipe.Make Ahead:Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to two months. Do not can.
