Ingredients

  • 1 medium pumpkin

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Slice the pumpkin in half and if your pumpkin is big cut it in more pieces.
  • Remove the seeds with a spoon.
  • Pierce the wedges many times with a fork.
  • Place the pumpkin wedges onto a baking sheet with aluminum foil skin-side up.
  • Roast for 45 to 60 minutes until the pumpkin is tender.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 mins.
  • Scrape the flesh from the skin.
  • Add it to a high-powered blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
  • Store pumpkin in the container with lid in the fridge. It will last for about a week.

Notes

  • Save the pumpkin seeds to roast!
  • Avoid cutting through the stem as it's much too tough for most knives.
  • If you're having trouble holding the pumpkin steady as you slice, cut off a bit of the bottom so you have a flat surface.
  • To store: Store homemade pumpkin puree in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • To freeze: Freeze the puree in freezer-safe bags for up to 3 months.
