I love cooking pumpkin. I love eating pumpkin. I hate chopping pumpkin
Same. Good thing is you can cook pumpkin with the skin on.
So I can fish the skin out or it comes off easily when cooked?
because if that is true I am never peeling another pumpkin again.
That is true or you can eat it.
awesome ✊✊✊✊✊
What I do is cut it into crescents or chunks, put it in a baking dish, add a sprinkle of cumin, chilli flakes, pepper and salt, a slosh of olive oil and roast it until soft. When it's on your plate and you've had enough of eating skin you can just cut it off with your knife because it becomes very soft when cooked.
Yes. Some kinds of pumpkin will leave a greenish rim after the skin comes off. This is in no way harmful, but can spoil the colour of pumpkin soup. I never peel anything I don't have to so have been not peeling pumpkin for many years. Actually, the same goes for potatoes. Cook with skin on then slip the hard part of the skin off with a flat bladed knife or your fingers. Usually comes off very easily. As most of the nutrition other than fibre and starch is just under the skin, peeling is wasteful. I recommend rubber gloves as skin comes off most easily when hot and damp from the pot. Also beetroot is tastier cooked with the skin on, but gloves are compulsory when removing skin after cooking. Unless you want to star in a horror film.
I got tired of peeling potatoes and just ended up roasting them with skin on and eating them that way.
Nice when they’re crunchy.
I probably wouldn't stew pumpkin with skin on, but roasted I always leave skin on for eating
And they are so itchy to pull up when done.
