How do you eat a pumpkin?

Answer 1

Cooking Pumpkin Seeds

• Step 1 - Separate the seeds of a freshly carved pumpkin from the stringy membrane. Rinse the seeds just until they are free of any membrane matter.(optional) ... You can boil the seeds in salted water for 10-15 minutes to remove more of the pumpkin pulp-membrane matter.
• Step 2 - Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Step 3 - Put the seeds on a paper towel and let them dry for a few minutes.
• Step 4 - Spray a baking sheet with butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray or brush with a light coating of vegetable oil. Put the seeds on the baking sheet in a single layer, turning to coat lightly with the spray or the oil. Sprinkle the seeds lightly with salt, if desired.
• Step 5 - Put the baking sheet in the oven. Cook the seeds for 10 to 20 minutes, or until brown and slightly crisp, turning once. Allow to cool before eating.
• Step 6 - Store seeds in an airtight container.

Pumpkin can be cooked in many many ways including roasting, frying, mashing, boiling and steaming. For any method aside from roasting remove skin and seeds cut to desired thickness and shape and cook until softened. If mashing add a little bit of butter salt and pepper to the mixture.

Easy as pie! Split the pumpkin in half, scrape the seeds, optionally spread olive oil on the inside and cut surfaces, bake at 350 for an hour or two until soft. Peel the skin off and throw it away. You now need to process the pulp via a food mill, a stick or immersion blender, or a food processor until the stringy bits are gone. You now have pumpkin puree, ready for use.

Answer 4

Cut it in half, top to bottom. Scoop out the seeds and inner membranes with a big spoon. Rub the skin with olive oil and place it, skin side up, on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour (or until soft). Remove from oven and let cool. The skin should just peel off, leaving you with a heap of fresh pumpkin for pies and more. With one medium pumpkin, I usually get enough pumpkin for more than four (4) pies.
