Thank you for these, I made the pumpkin/oat/chocolate bars and they were easy and amazing. I used date sugar instead of brown and cut up a dark chocolate bar for the chips. Yum! Please keep the vegan recipes coming, I am loving all of them!

I can’t wait for Pinterest to go back to being a bit more diverse instead of 90% pumpkin related. I love me a bit of the squash family and it’s great that it can be used in such a variety of ways, but everything in moderation. We have it roasted with a Sunday lunch if anything here, or in a soup, but never sweet! Unless it’s a gluten-free cake or something but even then it’s unusual.

What about savoury recipes! I love it roasted with sage and lots of salt and garlic. Then you can have it with just about anything – pasta, sausages, roast chicken :)

I am not an enormous pumpkin fan, but these double chocolate pumpkin cookies were seriously life-changing (they still have the texture of a regular cookie, instead of being basically a cupcake top).

FAQs

What can I do with a whole pumpkin? ›

The easiest and cheapest way to enjoy the fall flavors is to simply roast a whole pumpkin yourself, and it's way simpler than you might think. You can use this pumpkin for soups, curries, or roasted veggie bowls, or blend it to make your own pumpkin puree for pies, muffins, and more!

What is the best way to cook pumpkin? ›

Cooking the Pumpkin

If you're roasting, roast at 400 F for 35 to 45 minutes or until the flesh is soft. If you're steaming, fill your steamer pot with a few inches of water, bring it to a boil.

What goes well with pumpkin? ›

To complement pumpkin with sweet flavor pairings, consider using spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and vanilla, or sweet ingredients like chocolate, maple, honey, cranberries or brown sugar. Create savory dishes by pairing pumpkin with spices like chilies, cajun, cayenne or pepper.

Can you freeze pumpkin for later use? ›

Pumpkins can be easily frozen in their raw, puréed, or cooked state. They can be stored safely for up to three months, at which point you should make sure you use them up.

Can dogs eat pumpkin? ›

Yes, dogs can eat pumpkin and it is actually often added to dog foods. Check the label of some dog treats and you may find pumpkin on the ingredient list there too. However, if you are feeding fresh pumpkin, you will need to be careful about which part you're feeding as the stem and leaves are covered in prickly hairs.

Can you cook and eat a regular pumpkin? ›

Pumpkins typically used for jack-o'-lanterns usually are larger, with stringier pulp and more watery flesh. However, you can still eat the jack-o-lantern variety with fairly good results. If you're buying a pumpkin specifically for eating, the smaller ones are usually the best.

How to make pumpkin taste good? ›

Cook It on the Stove

Briefly cooking your canned pumpkin purée on the stove can help improve both the flavor and texture. This method helps reduce excess moisture, which gives the pumpkin a superior texture. It also releases the natural pumpkin flavor and helps reduce the metallic taste from the can.

Do you need to peel pumpkin before cooking? ›

If the pumpkin is particularly big, cut it into quarters then, using a small, sharp knife, pare off the skin (unless you plan to roast it, in which case the skin can stay on). Then cut into chunks or wedges as required.

Is pumpkin puree the same as canned pumpkin? ›

Canned pumpkin (labeled as "100% pure pumpkin") is a purée of pumpkin that is sometimes mixed with other kinds of winter squash. It is unsweetened and does not contain any added spices. Canned pumpkin and pumpkin puree are the same thing, and you'll often see the terms used interchangeably in recipes and cookbooks.

What spice compliments pumpkin? ›

Pumpkin is notorious for pairing well with warm winter spices – as found in a variety of Moroccan-inspired cuisines. Try incorporating cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cumin and chilli with your pumpkin dishes for flavour-packed feasts.

What brings out pumpkin flavor? ›

"It's actually a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and cloves." Pumpkin flavoring actually harkens back to the pilgrims, Cundiff says. "In the early 1600s, pumpkins were a source of vitamins and minerals and used in a multitude of dishes prepared to help nourish the pilgrims," Cundiff says.

What cheese pairs best with pumpkin? ›

Blue cheeses like gorgonzola team up well with the notes of dried fruit typical of pumpkin. Another excellent pairing is with a nice fresh goat's cheese since its acidulous notes offset the sweetness of pumpkin.

7 Delicious Ways to Utilize Your Uncarved Pumpkin
  1. Pumpkin Puree.
  2. Pumpkin Candy.
  3. Roasted Pumpkin Seeds.

Can you freeze fresh pumpkin? ›

Are all pumpkins edible? ›

While all pumpkins are edible, some are great as food, and some are better suited for other purposes. The jack-o'-lantern pumpkin is a great example.

What do farmers do with leftover pumpkins? ›

At his farm in Arthur, he donates many leftover pumpkins to farmers in his area. That way, they can feed them to their animals. “We're here in Arthur and we have a lot of Amish neighbors and farmers for cows, pigs, sheep and goats,” he said.
