How to make pumpkin puree

Pumpkin Puree Recipe

Print Recipe
Delicious and a great basic recipe to use in many different dishes! Keep in mind that roasting will remove about 50% of the weight of the pumpkin. So if you need 400 gram of puree you will need to roast 800 grams

Equipment

  • Oven or pan
  • Immersion blender

Ingredients

  • 1 pumpkin
  • pepper
  • salt
  • olive oil

Instructions

  • If you have a whole pumpkin, peel it before slicing it if not organic. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200˚C/400˚F if you are using the oven. Chop the pumpkin into smaller cubes.
  • Spread them out on a baking tray and drizzle with some olive oil and salt.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until tender.
  • You can also boil the pumpkin cubes in water but roasting them in the oven gives more flavor.
  • Once the cubes are soft enough you can mash them with a potato masher or a stick blender.
