Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 kg pumpkin Note these are usually £1 in supermarkets
  • Seasoning if you wish
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Place a small enough pumpkin to fit your slow cooker and set on low for 6-7 hours. Note I haven't added any water here.  (My slow cooker is roughly 6.5 litres)
  • Once cooked, leave to cool and slice in half.
  • Scoop out the guts and discard if not using as a roasted snack.  Then scoop out all the good flesh to keep.  Throw any of the skin behind.  It's that simple!
