Ingredients:

  • 1 sugar pumpkin (2-3 lb)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Carefully slice the pumpkin in half from stem to base.
  3. Use a metal spoon to scrape out the seeds and stringy pulp.
  4. Lightly brush the flesh with olive oil and sprinkle with fine sea salt.
  5. Place the pumpkin halves cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes until the skin is shriveled and a knife slides into the flesh with zero resistance.
  7. Allow the pumpkin to cool for 10 minutes.
  8. Scoop the tender flesh away from the skin using a spoon.
  9. Transfer the flesh to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
