FAQ
How do you make pumpkin puree?
Clean the pumpkin by removing the skin and inner seeds, cut it into pieces, and place it on a tray or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 392°F for about 40 minutes or until tender. At this point, simply mash it with a fork or blend it to get pumpkin puree. Alternatively, you can use an air fryer or steam the pumpkin. We advise against boiling the pumpkin as it would absorb too much water.
