INGREDIENTS

• about 2.2 lb (1 kg) raw pumpkin (the amount is optional, add as much pumpkin as you have)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C). Line a large baking pan with a parchment paper and set aside.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the pumpkin in half. Remove all the seeds using a spoon. Slice the pumpkin into a 2-3 inch large pieces. Making sure that all pieces are of similar size.
• Roast for about 45-60 minutes. Time depends on the size of the pieces and the oven you are using. To make sure the pumpkin is roasted, test with a fork, if it pierces smoothly through the pumpkin then it’s ready.
• Let it cool for about 5 minutes and remove the skin from each piece.
• Add the roasted pumpkin into a food processor and blend until smooth (or until you reach desired consistency). We like leaving a few chinks inside.
• Transfer to a glass jar.
• Enjoy your Homemade Pumpkin Puree!
