This week we thought it would be nice to provide you with a festive dish. With it being halloween, we thought it would only be right to do something with pumpkin. If you are preparing a halloween dinner tonight, try this great side dish. If pumpkin isn’t your favorite, you can substitute any winter squash or potato you would like. We also have done this with acorn squash and loved it!
Mashed Pumpkin
Ingredients:
1 small cooking pumpkin
cooking spray
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ground cloves
Directions:
1. preheat oven to 375F.
2. Cut pumpkin in half and scoop out seeds. (You can eat the seeds if you roast them)
3. Lay pumpkin on a sheet pan, flesh facing up. Spray the pumpkin halves with the cooking spray.
4. Combine all the spices in a small bowl and sprinkle the mixture over the two pumpkin pieces evenly.
5. Bake pumpkin for 45-55 minutes or until flesh is tender.
6. Allow pumpkin to cool for about 5 minutes. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl and mash. Taste it to see if you want to add more of the seasonings.
7. Serve warm
Hope you enjoy your holiday dish!
Get Fit for It,
