Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Look for sugar pumpkins, also known as pie pumpkins or sweet pumpkins, which are small, round, and have a deep orange color. Avoid using carving pumpkins, as they are stringy and less flavorful.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and intensifies its flavor. Cut the pumpkin into 1-inch cubes, toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them at 425°F for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Make the parfait layers ahead of time: The pumpkin puree, yogurt, and granola can all be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it easy to assemble the parfaits when you're ready to serve them.
  • Get creative with your toppings: In addition to the granola and pumpkin seeds suggested in the recipe, you can also top your parfaits with chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Conclusion:
