Nothing quite says “fall is here!” like seeing the season’s first big bins full of pumpkins at the local store. They’re synonymous with autumn’s holidays — jack-o-lanterns for Halloween and pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving.
Unfortunately, while the pumpkin may be popular in fall, it tends to end up being used for the same decorations and meals over and over. Nothing can beat carving pumpkins with the family or indulging in a freshly baked pumpkin pie, but there is a whole lot more you can do.
Here are 10 unique ways you can use the pumpkin in your home this season.
1. Roast your pumpkin seeds
If you are a fan of sunflower seeds and nuts, you are missing out by tossing your pumpkin seeds in the compost. All you need to do is clean off the seeds, toss them in a bag or bowl with some melted butter, place them on a baking sheet, sprinkle with some of your favorite seasoning and bake for 45 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. They are done when golden brown in color.
2. Make your own pumpkin puree
Canned pumpkin puree can sometimes be loaded with sugars, preservatives and other ingredients you may not want to be consuming.
