Orange, we've discovered, is the color of some of the best foods out there. Sweet potatoes, with their starchy goodness, best turned into crispy fries; Carrots, crisp and snappy when whole, tender and refreshing when shredded, creamy and sweet when roasted; Butternut squash, the fall staple for pastas, tarts, and sides; and of course, the color's eponymous fruit, bursting with citrusy juice and just waiting to be peeled and eaten in the sun.

We've rounded up 22 of our favorite orange-colored recipes--from olive oil cakes to spicy pumpkin-shrimp curries to frozen pops--in the slideshow above. Orange you glad?
