Preparation
Pumpkin is a difficult vegetable to cut and peel. It is ribbed. If you cut along the ribs it will be easier to peel.
Pumpkin cut into wedges and peeled |
Pumpkin skin is edible. It can be cooked without peeling. I prefer to peel it because the peel is hard.
First halve the pumpkin. Then slice into wedges and peel. Cut into bite size cubes. Remove the skin.
