Whether you find your pumpkins in the pumpkin patch or the produce (or canned goods!) aisle, you’ll FALL in love with these 12 delicious ways to cook pumpkin. Which pumpkin recipe are you going to try today?

1. Healthy Pumpkin Muffins by Lauren Allen

I love having a mini muffin to enjoy with my coffee on Shabbos mornings, and this one keeps my blood sugar steady while also delivering a ton of fiber, healthy fats, and protein!

2. Creamy Orange Soup with No-Knead Bread by Rena Tuchinsky

This creamy soup is amazing on its own, but enjoy it with a slice (or four) of this incredible no-knead bread and it’ll be even better.

3. Coffee Cake with Pumpkin Spice Glaze by Sina Mizrahi

Nothing feels cozier than enjoying a slice of cake with a cup of tea, draped in a warm sweater. It’s the epitome of fall and this is the perfect cake to get you there. It comes together easily and the depth from the tea, the warmth from the spices, and the satisfying crumb topping ensure delicious flavor in every bite.

4. Pumpkin Baked Ziti by Rena Tuchinsky

A fall friendly twist on the classic baked ziti. This creamy pumpkin pasta is sure to please and it’s incredibly easy to prepare.

5. Pumpkin Fettuccine Alfredo by Chanie Apfelbaum

Want to make your favorite restaurant pasta at home for a special dinner? This fettuccine with dairy pumpkin cream sauce is soothing and so satisfying.

6. Pumpkin Biscotti by Chaia Frishman

I gotta admit that I’ve been getting lazy. Most of the baked goods I serve are store-bought (or filched off my friends who love to bake, in exchange for sorbet from our business). But that doesn’t mean that when Chanie encouraged me to deviate from my usual soup-for-Yom Tov recipe genre that I wasn’t up to the challenge. Since this is the season for pumpkin spice lattes, I decided to make a seasonal (and not cloyingly sweet) treat to go with them.

7. Slow-Cooker Fall Chili with Pumpkin by Elizabeth Kurtz

The fall flavors in this dish are perfect for a rainy day. I serve it in individual dishes with toasted bread or over rice or potatoes. Fire-roasted tomatoes are available in national markets, near other canned tomato products. They are not spicy, just roasted over fire so they have a distinct and delicious smoky flavor.

8. Pumpkin Cauliflower Curry by Maggie Michalczyk

Filled with plant-based protein and lots of veggies, you’ll love how delicious and easy to make this curry with pumpkin is!

9. Roasted Pumpkin Soup by Faigy Grossman

The bountiful pumpkins that dot the landscape this time of year piqued my interest and led me to concoct this delicious soup. A little more sophisticated than butternut squash, and surprisingly less orange in color, the outcome was even better than I imagined! Go for it!

10. Pumpkin Power Cookies by Chaia Frishman

Sisters-in-law are great suppliers of advice. My husband’s sister gave me a long-lasting gift when she introduced these pumpkin cookies to my family! Here’s to you, Yaffi!

11. “Pumkin” Bread with Chocolate Chips by Estee Kafra

Every year we go to the farm and pick a pumpkin (along with the rest of the city who are in search of a perfect jack-o’-lantern). We pick a pumpkin that is on the small side, so it can easily fit on a baking sheet when cut in half. This year we brought home two of them, at the insistence of my daughter who “really really really wishes Mommy would make tons of pumkin soup and bread.” Use the new Barry Callebaut chocolates that will be in stores near you soon (look for the black package).… They add a rich chocolaty taste. I highly recommend them!

12. Tahini Pumpkin Pie by Chanie Apfelbaum

Pumpkin pie has been a staple on my Yom Tov menu for years. I often make a double batch, which I bake in mini pie shells and freeze. With the freezer stocked, I always have a festive side dish at the ready.
