Let’s welcome Fall with these sweet and savory pumpkin recipes. They’ll make you think outside of the box.
1. Pumpkin Mashed Potatoes with Herby Croutons
Let’s kick things off with this delicious pumpkin and potato mash. It’s Autumn on a plate and it’s the perfect Thanksgiving side dish that would be great with any seasonal meal, to be honest.
2. Cheesy Pumpkin Grits with Sausage, Mushrooms and Butternut Squash
These pumpkin grits are topped with a delicious sausage, mushroom and butternut squash mixture that while perfect together would be just as good all on it’s own!
3. Pumpkin Conchas
These pumpkin conchas take on a seasonal flavor profile that will have even the most die hard traditionalists hooked.
4. Spicy Sausage and Manchego Pumpkin Fritters
These little fritters are the most perfect balance of flavors—cheesy, spicy and pumpkin-y. They’re addicting and oh so good!
5. Seeded Pumpkin Breadsticks
These soft breadsticks will quickly become your new favorite dinner “roll.” They’re great with saucy pastas and/or soups for dipping and dunking.
6. Pumpkin Stick Bun Monkey Bread
This over the top decadent treat is a Fall dessert that you must make at least once this season. Although, something tells me you might be making it again and again.
7. Spicy Pumpkin Mini Corn Dogs
Not even corn dogs are safe from the seasonal pumpkin twist. These have a bit of a kick and are great with grainy mustard or a honey salted butter.
8. Pumpkin Pizza
One of my favorites from this list, this pumpkin pizza is all about the pizza sauce. It’s subtle in flavor but it’s a star!
9. Mini Arroz Con Leche Pumpkin Pies
Combining two different recipes into one is something I do best, and this dessert is no different. It’s pumpkin pie meets rice pudding and it’s incredible!
10. Pumpkin Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts
I have to finish things off with something a bit more traditional. These classic pumpkin cake doughnuts are a fall must.
it’s late October and still not sick of pumpkin, so thank you for all of these, pumpkin mashed potatoes, wow, and second place to pumpkin pizza for creativity, thank you!
