- Whole small pumpkin (2 to 3 pounds)
- Vegetable oil
- Butter
- Brown sugar
- Honey
Directions:
Place a pumpkin in the oven to bake at more than 350 degrees F., until you can easily poke a knife into it. Temperature and cooking time will vary from one pumpkin to another.
When the pumpkin is done, take it out of the oven and let it sit until it has cooled enough to peel off the external skin. Then peel the skin, cut the pumpkin in quarters, and separate the orange pumpkin meat from the fibers and seeds.
Offer the seeds to family members. Some may want to eat them as is. Otherwise, remove the seeds from the fibers, then wash, dry, and roast them with a little oil and spice to taste.
Scoop out the sweet pumpkin pulp and eat it alone or with butter, brown sugar, or honey.
Serves 2-3 people.
