Pumpkin

Sugar Pie pumpkin is the closest match by sweetness and density. Carving pumpkin is stringier and watery; skip it for cooking. Works in soups, curries, pies, and roasts. See our Pumpkin converter.

Sweet Potato

Sweeter and denser than butternut. Best in roasts, mash, and curries where extra sweetness helps. Soups end up thicker, so add a splash more stock. See our Sweet Potato converter.
