Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pumpkin
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh sage leaves, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by cleaning and cutting the pumpkin into large chunks. Remove the seeds and stringy interior. You can leave the skin on for now, as it will be easier to remove after roasting.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Arrange the pumpkin pieces on the baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 4

Remove the pumpkin from the oven and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, scoop the flesh from the skin and place it in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped sage, sautéing them until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Add the cooked garlic and sage to the pumpkin, along with the coconut milk, ground nutmeg, sea salt, and black pepper. Using a hand blender or a potato masher, blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 7

Serve the creamy pumpkin mash warm as a delightful Paleo side dish, garnished with additional sage leaves if desired.
