  • Organic pumpkins or squash

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
  • Rinse the pumpkins and scrub them to remove dirt. Using a sharp knife, cut in two vertically on a stable surface. Remove the seeds using a spoon and set aside if you plan on roasting them. Scrape the inside of the pumpkin until most of the stringy flesh has been removed.
  • Set the halves on a baking sheet covered with a silicon mat, flat side down. Place in the oven until the skin starts to detach itself. Remove from the oven, delicately turn the halves and let cool.
  • Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin, cut the flesh in pieces and place in a food processor. Pulse until you are left with a nice purée.
  • Divide into air-tight containers and place in the fridge.

Notes

If you don’t have a food processor, you can put the pumpkin cubes in a large bowl and purée them using an immersion blender.
To stock up for the months to come, freeze the purée in one cup or half a cup portions in freezer-friendly containers.
