What can you do with a pumpkin when you’ve had enough of soups and pies? How about turning it into some crispy fritters. A go-to meal for ease and convenience.

PUMPKIN FRITTERS

Serves: 5 (2 each, plus 10 for the freezer)          Time: 20 minutes          Level: Easy

Ingredients

1. 2 cups of roasted pumpkin
2. ½ cup of gluten-free/your favourite flour
3. ½ tsp. of Himalaya pink salt
4. 2 tsp. of baking powder
5. 1 tsp. of cinnamon powder
6. 2 tsp. of coconut sugar or your favourite sweetener
7. 2 large eggs**
8. Oil for frying (coconut works best)

Method

Heat the oven to 180-200°C.

Roast your pumpkin for an hour or until golden.

Add all the ingredients in a food processor/blender or blend by hand.

Heat the oil in a pan and when hot, dollop in a spoonful of the pumpkin mix. Depending of the size of the pan, you can cook 4-5 fritters at a time.

Fry for 60-90 seconds, then flip over for at least 30 seconds until cooked through.

Set aside on a paper napkin to absorb the excess oil and repeat as needed.

Enjoy!
