How to Roast Pumpkin (Optional Steps) You can add raw pumpkin instead of pre-roasting it, if you're short on time.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry a small pumpkin (sugar pumpkin or butternut squash work well).
Cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and peel the skin off.
Cut into 1-inch cubes.
Toss cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can also use air fryer for baking the pumpkin.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized.
Let cool before using in the recipe.
