Can I make Pumpkin Deviled Eggs without food coloring?

Yes! You can use natural coloring like carrot juice, paprika, or roasted red pepper puree to achieve an orange shade.

What’s the best way to hard-boil eggs for deviled eggs?

Place eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 9–10 minutes. Immediately cool in ice water for easy peeling.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes. Prepare the filling a day in advance and store separately. Assemble and garnish on the day of serving.

Can I use other herbs instead of chives for the stems?

Absolutely. Parsley or green onion tips also work well as edible stems.
