Peeling pumpkins and squash can be a little annoying. To avoid this, you can roast the pumpkin/squash with the peel on, then use your hands to remove the peel after roasting.  NOTE: For some varieties, like kabocha squash, butternut squash, or Hokkaido pumpkin (red kuri squash), you can keep the peel on and eat it if you’d like.
