Toss roasted roasted cubes with garlic herb butter (sage and thyme are good here) and serve with burrata and toasted bread. Either as a bruschetta or as a tartine (or just on a platter and folks can build their own in front of the tv, probably what would happen here).
If burrata is not available, ricotta would work too. Or Boursin.
Some Caribbean cultures add pumpkin to their curries and stews.
Iāve enjoyed this type of German Cream of Pumpkin soup a few times, often topped with pepitas.

Pumpkin Alpine-style Mac & Cheese
For me, pumpkin is used in savoury dishes, not sweet.
Thai red pumpkin curry is something you just have to try
Congee (bubur), freestyle, anything savoury with sort of overcooked rice. Sounds odd, but is very nice
Iāve pickled pumpkin as well,
And slice thin, use in a stir fry
Soups, stews
Cut in slices and on the grill, sprinkled with a little oil and spices.
In a drip pan, with onions and (sweet) potato, under that spatchcocked or rotisserie chicken
Iām sure I can come up with more, given a little more time
Lidia Bastianich had a pumpkin and cranberry strudel in one of her cookbooks.
Cooked then sauteed in brown butter with shallots, sage and diced tart apple. Serve over cheese ravioli.
Another pumpkin hatah here. The only way I can eat that stuff is in pumpkin cream soup, like the one @Phoenikia posted. With a nice splash of pumpkin seed oil, crĆØme fraĆ®che, toasted pumpkin seeds, and enough salt & pepper to not make it taste like sweet baby food anymore.
My Italian side of the family always made this dish to go with our Christmas Eve fish and homemade pasta feast. No measurements to speak of. Fill a 13x9 baking dish with cubed pumpkin. Add grated Parmesan, Italian breadcrumbs (not a lot), s&p and enough olive oil to moisten. Stir to combine and bake at 325* until pumpkin is tender. Five minutes before taking it out of the oven pour a shot glass full of apple cider vinegar over the top.
I always thought the Halloween pumpkins werenāt great for eating. Pumpkin dishes or foods that Iāve enjoyed (admittedly did not cook these myself):
Kaddo - an Afghan dish of baked pumpkin with sugar. Sounds sweet but it works. So good at the restaurant.
Pumpkin congee - just gets blended in with your regular congee, so itās orange pumpkin base
Pumpkin pasta sauce!
Roasted pumpkin soup
Pumpkin worked into dough so itās used in whatever you make with that dough. Iāve had it made into Chinese style jian bing.
Stir fried or ābraisedā pumpkin
EDIT: Found an online recipe of the Afghan dish! Itās the same restaurant where I had it.

Loved it in SF too! Take a look at the fascinating story of the family if you havenāt come across it already-- I had no idea until a couple of years ago.
The jack o lantern pumpkins tend to contain more water than pie pumpkins, so they arenāt as good for cooking or baking.
Lol, I do remember a bit of background about them, and their relationship to the former Afghanistan president. I didnāt know about all the other restaurants with the same name until a few years ago. I did find it strange why they all had to give their restaurant the same name. 
I love pumpkin congee! Pumpkin pancakes from Hunan restaurants are really delicious, too.
Another favorite pumpkin treat are picarones. Ideally itās pumpkin and sweet potato, but since I lack the correct sweet potatoes here, Iāve made do with just pumpkin. Still delicious!
Hereās a thought on pumpkin.
I never realized how many pumpkin-centric treats there were for dogs.
Who knew.
This looks good https://theguardian.com/food/2021/jan/25/20-best-curry-recipes-amy-and-emily-chung-pumpkin-curry
This was pretty good when I made it earlier this year (I swapped the pork out for shrimp):
Those look delicious
