• 3 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1/4 Cup pecans, chopped

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them so you have 8 triangles. Spread pumpkin puree along the top of each triangle. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans. Beginning at the base of the triangle, roll the crescent up to the point. Pinch the point into the roll so that it will stay rolled up.

Pumpkin Roast

Ingredients:

• 1 Small to medium pumpkin
• Salt
• Paprika or Chili powder
• 1/4 Cup orange juice
• Olive oil
• Balsamic vinegar
• Sour cream

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400°. Wash your pumpkin with soap and water so you do not get any dirt in your dish. Start to cut up the pumpkin so you will end up with moon-shaped slices, 2″ thick. An easy way to cut your pumpkin is to cut it in half, quarters, eighths, etc. Scoop the seeds out with a spoon. Put the slices on a baking tray. Sprinkle each slice with salt and paprika or chili powder. Drizzle orange juice, oil, and vinegar over each slice. Cover the entire dish with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 30 more minutes. Serve warm topped with sour cream.
