Six Recipes to Reuse your Halloween Pumpkin

Six Recipes to Reuse your Halloween Pumpkin

Halloween is over and now you're wondering what to do with your pumpkin after you've carved it.

You can eat it! Here's some recipe inspiration, sweet and savoury. 

If you find that the flesh of your carving pumpkin isn't super tasty, then you'll be less disappointed by the seeds, which are still full of protein and can be crisped up in the oven.

Have you ever bought pumpkin seeds from a supermarket? Chances are they look like these green ones.

But when you come to harvest your pumpkin seeds, they will be a whiteish colour. This is because what you buy in the supermarket is actually the inside of the whole seed that you'd find in your pumpkin. 

It is very tricky, however, to separate this inner kernel from the white outer. 

So your best bet is to boil your leftover pumpkin seeds for about 10 minutes, before popping them into the oven to roast them and get them crispy. 

These roasted seeds will be perfect for topping salads and soups. You could even use them to sprinkle on top of some of the recipes we'll share below.
