In addition to bringing out the natural sweetness of pumpkin, roasting it also gives it a creamy texture. You may serve pumpkin in a distinctive style by adding hot honey on top! Alternatively, feel free to make your own using one of the many recipes you can find online. Hot honey, which is infused with chiles, may be found next to the conventional honey at the grocery store. Once cooked, the peel is simple to remove.
