Let’s dive right in and make some magic.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You don’t need much to pull this off. Most of these ingredients are pantry staples, with one tiny twist: a bit of food coloring to bring those pumpkins to life.

• 6 eggs
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or swap in sour cream)
• ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• Orange gel food coloring (a little goes a long way)
• 2 scallions or green onions, thinly sliced
• Salt to taste (optional)

Step-by-Step: How to Make Pumpkin Deviled Eggs

These come together quickly, and I’ll walk you through every step. Even if you’ve never made deviled eggs before, don’t worry—you’ve got this.

Step 1: Boil the Eggs

Start by placing the eggs in a saucepan and covering them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once it reaches a full boil, reduce the heat slightly and simmer the eggs for about 9 to 12 minutes.

To avoid overcooked yolks, aim for that 10-minute sweet spot.

Step 2: Cool Down Quickly

While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl filled with ice water. Once the eggs are done, transfer them immediately into the ice bath. This not only stops the cooking process but also makes peeling a breeze. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes.

Step 3: Peel and Slice

Gently peel the cooled eggs, then slice each one in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving tray.

Step 4: Make the Filling

Mash the yolks with a fork until they’re crumbly. Add in the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, onion powder, and a pinch of salt if needed. Mix everything until the filling is smooth and creamy.

If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a touch more yogurt or mayo to loosen it up.

Step 5: Color That Filling

Now for the festive part. Add a small amount of orange gel food coloring to the yolk mixture. Start with a little and mix well, adding more if needed until you reach a rich pumpkin orange.

Because gel food coloring is concentrated, it’s better to build the color slowly rather than overdo it at the start.

Step 6: Fill the Egg Whites

Spoon or pipe the orange filling back into the egg whites. A piping bag—or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped—works great here. Shape the filling with a slight dome so it resembles a mini pumpkin.

For extra detail, use a toothpick to make subtle vertical lines down the filling to mimic pumpkin ridges.

Step 7: Add the Stems

Take a small piece of green onion or scallion and gently press it into the center of each filled egg. Just like that, you’ve got your pumpkin stems.

Why These Keto Deviled Eggs Work for Everyone

These eggs check all the boxes. Not only are they low-carb and keto-approved, but they also work great for gluten-free eaters and vegetarians. They’re creamy, flavorful, and festive enough to double as a party conversation starter.

On top of that, you can make them ahead of time and chill until serving—making them ideal for busy hosts.

They also pair beautifully with other Halloween-themed recipes. For a full spooky dinner spread, try these Cheeseburger Skulls or this family-favorite Spooky Spaghetti and Meatballs. If you want a heartier vegetarian option, these Black Bean Sweet Potato Enchiladas will blow your mind.

Storage Tips

If you’re making these in advance, store the egg whites and filling separately in the fridge. This keeps the texture fresh and the color vibrant.

Fully assembled deviled eggs should be stored in an airtight container and eaten within two days. They’re best served cold—no need to reheat or fuss around.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• Make it spicier: Add a pinch of cayenne or a dash of hot sauce to the filling for a subtle kick.
• Add crunch: A sprinkle of crispy bacon or chopped chives on top can add a whole new layer of flavor.
• Use smoked paprika: For a smoky note and extra Halloween color, dust a little over the top of the filling.
