Ingredients

• 1 pie pumpkin

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.

2. Carefully slice the pie pumpkin in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the pumpkin halves cut-side down on the sheet pan.

3. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the pumpkins have partially collapsed, and the flesh is very soft and is beginning to pull away from the skin.

4. Scoop out the flesh and puree until smooth in a food processor. Eat as is with a little salt and olive oil or use in your favorite pumpkin recipes! Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for later.
