Ingredients
- 1 small pumpkin (sugar pumpkin preferred)

- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cream cheese or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Assorted crackers and breadsticks

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds, and drizzle the olive oil over the flesh. Season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
- Combine cream cheese (or yogurt), maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl. Mix until smooth and well incorporated. Set aside.

- Fill in the gaps with an assortment of crackers, breadsticks, and sprinkle the roasted pumpkin seeds over the board for crunch.
- Drizzle extra maple syrup over the pumpkin (optional) and garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary or sage for a pop of color.
Notes
Choose sugar pumpkins for the best flavor. Assemble the board just before serving to keep ingredients fresh.
