Pumpkin is very abundant this time of year, and there is lots you can do with it. Especially now that Halloween is over, pumpkins are on sale so it’s a great time to try cooking with it! Pumpkin can be used for lots of different meals. You can roast it, which is the recipe below, then use it in many different recipes. Pumpkin can be an ingredient in breads and cakes, it can be added to smoothies, you can eat once roasted, or you can stuff your pumpkin when roast it and have stuffed pumpkin as a meal. Roasting a pumpkin is easy. If you plan to eat it once roasted, you should add the glaze during the last 15 minutes of baking. If you are vegetarian, you could also use brown sugar and fruit juice or corn syrup for your glaze to make this dish fit your diet. If you plan to use the pumpkin for another dish, you can roast it just plain. I plan to use this pumpkin to make 2 pies, so I roasted these plain.
