tips

Easier peeling

The thick skin of this pumpkin is hard to cut. Pierce the skin with holes and heat the pumpkin in the microwave for a few minutes, or boil it in warm water to make peeling easier.

Seasoning

For extra flavour, you can brush the pumpkin with olive oil and herbs before roasting.
