Smart
tips

Roasting pumpkin

Cut the pumpkin into pieces and roast them in the oven at 200°C with a bit of olive oil, salt, and herbs. This enhances the sweet flavor and makes the flesh firmer.

Boiling pumpkin

If your pumpkin contains a lot of water after boiling, drain the flesh in a sieve before further processing.
