Roasted Pumpkin Puree

  • 6 Servings
  • 5 minutes Prep Time
  • 2 hours Cook Time

As the holiday season draws near, pumpkin puree is in high demand for all your favorite Fall dishes. This year, ditch the canned stuff and make homemade pumpkin puree instead for an elevated flavor profile! This easy-to-make puree is roasted on the Pit Boss pellet grill for mess-free cooking and an added kiss of smoke for use in recipes like breads, soups, and more!

Use this puree in:

  • Homemade Pumpkin Bread
  • Roasted Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 9lb. pumpkin

Directions

  • Preheat your pellet grill or smoker to 300°F.
  • Cut your pumpkin into 4 equal-sized pieces and remove the seeds with a large spoon.
  • Wrap each piece of pumpkin in aluminum foil and place on the upper rack of your preheated grill for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Rotate the pieces every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking. Once pumpkin pieces are fork tender, remove from the grill.
  • Remove from foil and allow the pumpkin to cool to room temperature.
  • Using a large spoon, remove the flesh from the pumpkin skin. Add flesh to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
  • Add puree into a strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl and allow excess moisture to drip away for 45 minutes.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for later use.
