Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss pumpkin slices with 0.5 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt, spread on sheet pan, roast until edges caramelize, ~12 minutes.
Step 2
While pumpkin roasts, bring water and pumpkin cubes to boil in a pot over medium-high heat. Simmer until pumpkin is completely tender, ~10 minutes.
Step 3
Toast pumpkin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking often, until fragrant and just starting to pop, ~4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Step 4
Blend cooked pumpkin and cooking liquid with an immersion blender until completely smooth and velvety, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Whisk rice flour with 3 tbsp cold water until no lumps remain. Pour into blended pumpkin while stirring constantly. Add sugar and salt.
Step 6
Simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, ~3 minutes. Pour into bowls, top with roasted pumpkin slices and toasted seeds.
