This is a two-part recipe. Part one instructions are for the pumpkin puree. Part two instructions are for the spiced pumpkin bread.
PUMPKIN PUREE INGREDIENTS
- Pie or Baking Pumpkins
- Kosher Salt
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Slice a small piece of skin off one side of the pumpkin so when laid on its side, the pumpkin will lay flat without rolling. Remove the stem and split the pumpkin in half from top to bottom, using a large knife. Scoop out seeds and fiber with a large metal spoon or ice cream scoop. Reserve seeds for another use.
- Sprinkle the flesh with kosher salt. Lay the halves, flesh side down, on a parchment paper-lined half sheet pan. Roast until a paring knife can be easily inserted and removed from the pumpkin, 30 to 45 minutes. Test in several places to ensure doneness.
- Place sheet pan on cooling rack and cool pumpkin for 1 hour.
- Using a large spoon, remove the roasted flesh of the pumpkin and place in bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
