I love pumpkin season. The seasonal squash is so bright and jolly. They beckon Halloween and herald Fall along with the falling leaves and chill in the air.

Sadly, people often just think of pumpkins as a Halloween activity or decoration.

However, you can make loads of delicious recipes with them. Either with canned pumpkin or using the insides of a carving pumpkin.

This roundup of pumpkin recipes was originally published on October 31, 2019 and republished on September 24, 2021.

Pumpkin Recipes

There are so many ways to use up pumpkin this fall. I love using it in both sweet and savory dishes.

As soon as the leaves start to fall from the trees, it's time to start using pumpkin!

It's not that flavorful, but pairs wonderfully with sweet spices and of course Pumpkin Spice Blend.

You can use pumpkin in everything from gnocchi and risotto, to pumpkin bark or pumpkin scones.

You can also check out all of my pumpkin recipes.

You can use fresh pumpkin, canned pumpkin or make your own pumpkin puree. 

I hope you'll find lots of inspiration in this roundup of Vegetarian Pumpkin Recipes to encourage you to eat your pumpkin.
