This simple, yet healthy, and very impressive pumpkin rind side dish will impress your family at any holiday dinner. Scoop the roasted pumpkin flesh out of the rinds, being careful not to damage them, mash together with baked sweet potatoes, cream, and butter like mashed potatoes, and then divide them into pumpkin rind bowls. Then sprinkle the purée with crumbled goat cheese and bake again until the cheese melts on the surface. Top the garnish with green onions and pumpkin seeds and serve directly in the rinds. Pumpkin purée with sweet potatoes is an excellent accompaniment to meat and poultry dishes.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the squash and sweet potato on a baking sheet. Brush the squash with half the olive oil, then mix the remaining oil with the sweet potato, then season with salt and pepper. Turn the squash and sweet potato skin-side down on the baking sheet and pierce the skin of the squash with a fork. Bake until the squash flesh is very tender and golden brown and the sweet potato is cooked through, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.
  2. Switch the oven to grill mode.

  3. Scoop the sweet potato flesh into a bowl (remove the peel). Scoop out the pumpkin flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch layer of the peel, and add it to the bowl with the sweet potato along with the heavy cream, butter, 2 teaspoons of salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Mash with a potato masher until smooth. Place the pumpkin peels on a baking sheet and evenly distribute the filling among them.
  4. Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese, then broil until bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with green onions and pumpkin seeds before serving.
