📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 400°.
2
Start by slicing the pumpkin in half with a long sharp knife. Be careful when doing this because pumpkins are firm and can take a little extra strength to cut through.
3
Using a large enough scrape out all the pumpkin seeds and fibrous strings in the center of each half.
4
Place the pumpkin cut side down on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
5
Bake the pumpkin at 400° for ⏱️ 1 hour or until it becomes very soft when gently squeezing it.
6
Cool the pumpkins to room temperature or until they can be easily handled.
7
Using a spoon scrape all the pumpkin flesh away from the skin. Another way to do it is to peel the skin away from the flesh, however I find that the skin breaks up too much and I spend more time looking for it then actually getting it off.
8
Add the cooked pumpkin in batches to a food processor and process on high speed until it becomes smooth to make pumpkin puree. See chef notes on consistency.
