Sensible Cooking with Erin: Roasted Pumpkin with Applesauce

Roasted Pumpkin with Applesauce

Cut a mini-pumpkin in half
Remove the seeds
Place the two pumpkin halves in a baking dish
Fill the pumpkin halves with applesauce
Sprinkle with cinnamon
Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 45 minutes

I love pumpkin and wanted to find a use for the mini-pumpkins we received from our CSA. This dish is interesting, although I found it somewhat disappointing mostly because I didn't think the pumpkin tasted much like pumpkin. Not sure if I would make it again. But, it was fun for something new and different.

This blog is about a common sense approach to cooking with local, organic, seasonable produce in a way that's feasible for busy people who don't have an abundance of time or money. I'm an everyday cook who's interested in eating healthy, organic meals but isn't fanatical about it. My husband and I recently joined a local CSA (community supported agriculture) coop, so many of the meals featured here are driven by what we receive each Saturday morning from Farmer Dan. I want to explore (and help you learn if you're interested ) how eating healthy every day may be easier, less expensive, and more enjoyable than we think.
