Though they\u2019re well used in the US and UK for making scary lanterns to light up doorsteps every Halloween, poor pumpkins seem to get ignored when it comes to cooking. We’re here to change that. If you haven\u2019t already, you\u2019re about to fall in love with this underrated vegetable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great source of fiber, as well as many minerals and vitamins, pumpkins are incredibly versatile gourds that can serve well in various dishes. They can be used in place of other squash vegetables, and they also work great in many sweet treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you get a whole pumpkin, a can of pumpkin pur\u00e9e, or use the flesh from your pumpkin lantern this Halloween, now\u2019s the perfect time to try out this wonderful vegetable in a recipe or two. Below, we\u2019ve rounded up a selection of the best to get you started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Pumpkin Macaroni Cheese<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You might never guess it, but pumpkin can make a great base for a creamy cheese sauce. This is a vegan Halloween twist on the classic Mac \u2018n\u2019 Cheese that\u2019s as delicious as the original \u2013 and healthier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Easy Creamy Buffalo Sage Pumpkin Lasagna<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this recipe, pumpkin is used to create a pur\u00e9e that adds creaminess to this indulgent yet nutritious lasagna. A great twist on the classic Italian dish, this is sure to get you going back for seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Traditional Irish Pumpkin Brack<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another recipe that utilizes the sweetness of this wonderful vegetable, is a vegan take on the traditional Irish Barmbrack (or tea loaf). Barmbrack is typically eaten at Halloween time, so including pumpkin in the mix just makes sense!<\/p>\n\n\n

4. Pumpkin and Basil Pesto Hummus<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This bright and beautiful hummus is a festive twist on classic flavors. Try scooping the hummus back into the pumpkin and serve with vegetable sticks, breadsticks, tortilla chips, or anything else your heart desires!<\/p>\n\n\n
