Instructions

1. Prepare the Pumpkin:

Grate the Pumpkin: If you’re using fresh pumpkin, peel it and remove the seeds. Grate the pumpkin until you have about 2 cups. If using canned pumpkin, ensure it’s well-drained to remove excess moisture.

2. Mix the Ingredients:

Combine Everything: In a large bowl, combine the grated pumpkin, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese (if using), chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Form the Patties:

Shape the Mixture: Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about the size of your palm. This recipe should make around 8-10 patties, depending on the size.

4. Cook the Patties:

Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Fry the Patties: Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

Plate the Patties: Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Garnish and Serve: Serve the patties warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired. They pair wonderfully with a side salad, a dollop of yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce.
