Ingredients

  • 1 ½ teaspoon olive oil

  • 1 cup pie pumpkin or butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 2 avocados

  • ½ cup finely chopped sweet onion

  • 3 tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • 1 fresh red jalapeño chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped*

  • ¼ cup snipped fresh cilantro

  • ½ cup toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

  • ¼ teaspoon cumin seed, toasted and ground

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a medium ovenproof skillet heat half the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add cubed pumpkin, season with a pinch of the salt, and cook about 5 minutes, until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Transfer skillet to oven. Roast pumpkin 5 minutes, just until tender. Remove from oven. Cool to room temperature.

  2. Halve avocados; remove pits, leaving skin intact. Cup on half at a time in palm, score flesh with paring knife in a grid. Spoon avocado flesh into medium-size bowl. Add onion, lime juice, jalapeno, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, cumin seed, remaining olive oil, remaining salt, pepper, and roasted pumpkin. Stir together; if desired, mash guacamole with fork, Serve immediately.

*

Because hot chile peppers, such as jalapeños, contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with chiles as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the chile peppers, wash your hands well with soap and water.
