My husband is a lifelong veggie hater, but he tried these deep-fried pumpkin bites and fell in love. Serve them with chipotle mayo or ranch dressing. -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I really enjoyed these fritters. They're not too sweet, and the spices are perfectly balanced.

These fritters are a great appetizer or snack. I served them at a party, and they were gone in minutes.

I'm allergic to gluten, so I used a gluten-free flour blend to make these fritters. They turned out great! I was so happy to be able to enjoy these delicious fritters.

These fritters are a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. I had some from making pumpkin pie, and these fritters were the perfect way to use it up.

I love the combination of sweet and spicy in these fritters. The pumpkin flavor is subtle, but it's there. I served them with a yogurt dipping sauce, and they were perfect.

These fritters were easy to make and turned out great. I used canned pumpkin puree, and they still had a lovely pumpkin flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin, but these fritters changed my mind. They were so delicious, I ate three in a row!

These pumpkin fritters were a hit at my Diwali party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of spice. I added a little extra ginger and garlic to mine, and they turned out perfectly.
