Fall is pumpkin season! If you find yourself with an abundance of pumpkins, don’t let them go to waste. Here are some of the best creative and savory pumpkin recipes that you’re sure to love!
22. Roasted Pumpkin with Rosemary & Cherry Tomatoes for Sunday Lunch
Roasted pumpkin is a wonderfully simple and versatile dish that makes a fantastic side. It beautifully balances the natural sweetness of pumpkin with aromatic rosemary and juicy cherry tomatoes.
This recipe is great for those following paleo, keto, or vegan diets.
I had a butternut pumpkin sitting in my pantry for months, so I decided to roast it for a Sunday lunch with friends and family. You can serve this roasted pumpkin as a hearty main dish or as a delicious option for a weeknight dinner.
The cooking time will vary depending on the size of your pumpkin cubes. In this recipe, I prefer to cut the pumpkin into cubes for even roasting.

19. Sikil P’ak (Roasted Pumpkin Seed Salsa)
Imagine if salsa verde and hummus had a delicious offspring—that’s what this dip reminds us of. It’s our take on Sikil p’ak, a name that translates to “pumpkin seed” and “tomato” in Mayan.
Traditionally from the Yucatan region, this dip usually features ground unhulled pumpkin seeds and red tomatoes.
Our version mixes things up by using hulled pepitas and charred tomatillos instead, adding a subtle smokiness that makes it irresistibly moreish.
