Default drying pumpkin

Every year I buy left over jackolantern pumpkins to make pepitas and I
have all this not so sweet pumpkin meat that I don't know what to do
with. I used to make thanksgiving pies out of the jackolanterns when
the kids were done with them, but since I found pie pumpkins I haven't
done that.

SO now i have diabetes and someone said I could make a lower carb
version of pumpkin pie with a certain squash that was lower carb and
when I saw the pumpkins at 99c each I remembered the meat is less
sweet and bought six.. Now I'm baking one, but I have a dehydrator
and the freezer is full and I only have a half dozen jars so I'm
wondering if I could dry the meat. if so, would you dry it as slices
or cook/puree it first and dry it as a sort of fruit leather.

One way I like to use it is to put a tablespoon of puree into an egg
and some cream, add stevia and spices and bake in the microwave for a
muffin or pan fry for a pancake.

Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved. thanks, Kitty
