Prepare The Pumpkins
- Remove the stems from the pumpkins.
- Cut each pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds

- Once the seeds are removed, cut the pumpkins into pieces no larger than 4".
Baking Method
- Preheat oven to 350℉. This was the first step mentioned above.
- Place pumpkin sections cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 45–60 minutes or until fork-tender.
