Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F.

Step 2

Cut your pumpkins in half lengthwise. Don’t try to cut right through the stem because it will be immensely difficult and you may lose a finger. Cut a little off center or on a slight diagonal to avoid the center stem. Or, cut off the stem first, then cut it in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Scoop out the seeds and save them for later to season roast up!

Step 4

Lay the pumpkins flat-side (cut-side) down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

Roast for 40 – 45 minutes. The time will change depending on the size of the pumpkin, but the skin will appear deeper orange and more wrinkly.

Step 6

Turn the pumpkins over, scoop out the center flesh into a food processor.

Step 7

Process for 1 minute until the flesh is smooth.

Step 8

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for about 1 week.
