Pumpkin (roasted, mashed)

Pumpkin is a type of winter squash with a hard skin and dense, sweet, orange flesh, used in both sweet and savoury cooking. It is roasted, steamed, or puréed into soups, pies, and baked goods, with its sweetness intensifying as it cooks down. Canned pumpkin purée is a common convenient substitute for fresh, roasted pumpkin in baking.

Roasting drives off moisture and can shrink or crisp an ingredient, giving it a different density than the raw form.
