Description
 This is less of a recipe and more of a method, as you'd probably use pumpkin puree in something else. Try replacing mashed bananas or unsweetened applesauce in my baked goods with this for a delicious fall twist.
 Similar is my Roasted Sweet Potato Puree, which can also be used just like pumpkin puree! Below are some great pumpkin or sweet potato recipes that you can use your puree on:

  1. Wash the pumpkin, cut off the stem, and slice in half. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon

  2. Place the pumpkin halves cut side down on a parchment line baking sheet, and roast at 400F until fork tender (about 45 minutes). Flip over to let steam out for a few minutes


  3. Cut off the ends, and transfer to a food processor (with the skins!!). Blend until smooth


  4. My whole raw pumpkin weighed 764 g, and I ended up with 368 g of puree. That's about 1.5 cups or 3 servings of 1/2 cup (120 g)
