Cooking Tips

• Make sure to roast the pumpkin until it is tender and slightly caramelized for maximum flavor.
• If you prefer a spicier samosa, add more green chili or red chili powder to the filling.
• You can make the samosas in advance and freeze them. Just bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Storage and Serving

• Store any leftover samosas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the samosas in a preheated oven at 350掳F (180掳C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the baked pumpkin samosas as an appetizer, snack, or even as a main dish with a side of salad or rice.
