10 Things You Never Knew You Could Do With Pumpkin

Is it even officially fall until you’ve sipped your first pumpkin spice latte of the season? After all, from tasty seasonal pies to hearty stews—the quintessential fall squash is in just about everything this time of year. 

And with Halloween right around the corner, if you’re plant-based, it’s highly likely you’ll be carving pumpkins instead of turkeys this holiday season. Because it’s not officially fall either unless you’ve made the season’s annual rite of passage: a trip to the local pumpkin patch.

But the spooky, gap-toothed grinning jack-o-lanterns inevitably wind up in landfills come November 1. If you want to cut back on waste this holiday season, there are a number of ways you can put your carved pumpkins to use. 

How To Reduce Pumpkin Waste This Holiday Season

So, you’ve finished carving your ghoulish-looking pumpkin fit to win any pumpkin carving contest. But now, you may be wondering what to do with the enormous pile of leftover slimy pumpkin innards and seeds.

Instead of tossing the latter, roast them! Roasted pumpkin seeds are quick and easy to make—and they’re delicious. Whip up this roasted pumpkin seed recipe to make your pumpkin seeds savory or sweet.

You can also use up the fleshy pumpkin you’ve scooped out to make a pumpkin purée. Pumpkin purée can be used to make a number of tasty seasonal treats like fresh pumpkin pie and hearty pumpkin soup. Try making your own vegan homemade pumpkin purée using this recipe.

Here are 10 more ways you can ensure your carved pumpkin doesn’t go to waste.
