Make sure it is a pumpkin grown for eating. The ones grown for jack-o-lanterns are not the variety you want.0

PUMPKIN KADU!
Afghan roasted pumpkin! Lots of recipes online, but the basic is slow roasted pumpkin, with a little garlic yogurt sauce. I recall baking it for hours until it caramelized, then making the yogurt sauce with fat free yogurt. Can add ground seasoned beef or lamb too....fantastic!0 -
