Pumpkin arepas are a delightful twist on the traditional cornmeal cakes originating from Colombian and Venezuelan cuisine. Made with a blend of masa harina, fresh or pureed pumpkin, and a pinch of salt, these golden discs are lightly pan-fried or baked, giving them a crisp exterior and soft, flavorful interior. Pumpkin adds a natural sweetness and boosts the nutritional profile with its rich content of vitamin A, fiber, and antioxidants. These arepas are naturally gluten-free and can be enjoyed as a nutritious breakfast or snack. Pair them with proteins like beans or cheese for added sustenance or simply savor them on their own. While relatively healthy and low in fat, their nutritional value depends on preparation—using healthier oils and moderate topping portions can keep them lighter. Pumpkin arepas are a vibrant, versatile dish that merges seasonal flavors with the hearty traditions of Latin American cuisine.
