- Brush the cut sides with olive oil if desired and place the halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

- Transfer the flesh to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Use sugar or pie pumpkins for best flavor and texture.
- You can strain the puree through a cheesecloth for an extra-smooth consistency.
