Whether in the form of glowing jack-o’-lanterns or the much-coveted seasonal flavor spiking our lattes and gracing our plates, few things scream fall more than pumpkins. In the kitchen, the iconic orange gourd—fresh or canned—isn’t reserved for just pie; versatile and delicious (and packed with beta-carotene), pumpkins can be boiled, baked, roasted, or steamed, and are perfect for both savory dishes and sweet desserts.
