Steps:
- If using the oven for cooking the pumpkin, preheat it to 425°F, set an oven rack to the lowest position, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry the pumpkin. Place it in the microwave and microwave it for one minute on each side to slightly soften.
- Using a very sharp chef's knife and a back-and-forth sawing motion, cut a thin slice off the stem end. Place the pumpkin on this newly formed flat area and, again using a back-and-forth sawing motion, cut it in half.
- Use a large metal spoon to scoop out the seeds and the pulp, saving the seeds and washing them to make roasted pumpkin seeds if you wish.
