Pumpkin spiced latter

It’s that time of year where we start taking out all the warming spices, Halloween is in the air and pumpkins are coming out of the ground.  So what can you do with the inside of the pumpkin once you’ve carved a ghoulish face into it?
 
Simply roast the pumpkin flesh (even that sounds ghoulish) by removing the flesh from the inside of the pumpkin, remove the seeds and place the flesh on a roasting tray with a splash of coconut oil, then place the seeds on another tray and spread out.  Place both trays in an oven heated to 180C and roast for 30 minutes.
 
Blend the flesh to a pulp and store in an airtight jar, place the roasted seeds in another airtight jar.
