Savor the Season with Savory Pumpkin Fritters: A Delicious Autumn Adventure

Today’s Culinary Adventure: Savory Pumpkin Fritters

Growing up, I always enjoyed the cozy feeling of fall, with its crisp air and warm colors. Today, inspired by the season, I’m sharing a unique recipe for savory pumpkin fritters that perfectly captures the essence of autumn.

Ingredients

• 500g pumpkin puree
• 150g chickpea flour
• 100g crumbled feta cheese
• 2 stalks of green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for frying

Kitchen Tools

• mixing bowl
• fork
• skillet
• spatula

To prepare the fritter batter, start by combining the pumpkin puree, chickpea flour, crumbled feta cheese, green onions, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mix everything together until well combined.

Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Take a spoonful of the pumpkin mixture and carefully drop it into the skillet, flattening it slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Once the fritters are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve the pumpkin fritters warm, garnished with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

These savory pumpkin fritters weigh approximately 850g in total, with around 4 servings. Each serving is about 213g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

One unusual tip to make these fritters even more flavorful is to add a handful of toasted pumpkin seeds to the batter before frying. They will add a delightful crunch and nuttiness to the fritters that will take them to the next level.

I encourage you to give these savory pumpkin fritters a try and make them your own by experimenting with different spices or toppings. Enjoy the flavors of fall in a unique and delicious way!
