Tips:

Choose the right pumpkin: Look for a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin, which are small and have a sweet, dense flesh. Avoid using a carving pumpkin, as it has a stringy texture and less flavor.
Roast the pumpkin properly: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and makes it easier to mash. Cut the pumpkin into small cubes and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and caramelized.
Add holiday flavors: To give your pumpkin mash a festive holiday flavor, add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add a splash of maple syrup or honey for sweetness, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
Mash the pumpkin until smooth: Use a potato masher or food processor to mash the roasted pumpkin until it is smooth and creamy. You can also leave it a little chunky, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately or store for later: Pumpkin mash can be served immediately as a side dish or used in other recipes. It can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Sweet roasted pumpkin mash is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin, and it is also a healthy and flavorful addition to your holiday meals. With its sweet and savory flavor, pumpkin mash is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you have a pumpkin on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
