Do you know how to roast a potato? Exactly the same thing. Just cut the pumpkin into wedges, get rid of the crap in the middle but leave the skin on, and coat it in a bit of olive oil. Add a little salt to taste. Chuck the lot in a roasting pan, and stick it in an oven at about 200 C (425 F) for about an hour, or until it's real tender in the middle.
And don't eat the skin.
As for the mash, do exactly the same as you would for mashed potatos, but cut up some pumpkin (skin removed) and throw that in as well.
I'm not sure how well it'd work there. You guys grow pumpkins for jack-o-lanterns and pies, so they might not be much good for roasting. But give it a go, anyway.
