Tips

Opt for a sugar pumpkin or another flavorful variety rather than decorative pumpkins used for carving, as the latter tend to be less sweet and more watery.

Tips

You can balance the sweetness of the pumpkin with a bit of acidity, which can come from tomatoes or a splash of citrus like lime juice. You might also consider adding a bit of coconut sugar or honey if the pumpkin isn’t quite sweet enough.
