Spread a layer of pumpkin puree evenly on the fruit roll insert (or parchment) on the tray of the dehydrator.

Using food processor, blender or coffee grinder, grind the pumpkin into powder. Because it's thin and brittle, it won't last long! Although if you want to make a lot of pumpkin powder and use small things like coffee grinders, you may need to grind them in batches.
