Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (2 1/2-pound) sugar pumpkin, trimmed, cleaned, and cut into 2-inch wedges
2 tablespoons molasses (or maple, sorghum, or cane syrup)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 orange
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or piece of parchment paper; set aside.
  • Place pumpkin wedges on baking sheet and transfer to oven; bake until fork-tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  • When pumpkin is cool enough to handle, scoop out flesh and transfer to a large bowl; discard skin. Add molasses, butter, orange zest and juice, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cayenne; season with salt and pepper.
  • Using a potato masher, heavy-duty whisk or handheld mixer, beat until smooth. Transfer to a warm serving bowl.

This recipe is just okay. I think it needs more spices to really make it pop.

I've tried this recipe with different types of squash and it always turns out great. Butternut squash and kabocha squash are both delicious in this dish.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pumpkin mash turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the spices.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The pumpkin flavor was a bit muted and the texture was a bit too runny for my taste.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much cayenne pepper. Next time I'll use less.
