Ingredients

• 2 cups Pumpkin (grated)
• 1 large Russet potato (grated)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (optional, shredded)
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato (sliced)
• 4 tablespoons Burger condiments (e.g., mayo, ketchup, mustard)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the grated pumpkin and potato by using a box grater and placing them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out any excess liquid to prevent soggy hash browns.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the grated pumpkin, grated potato, flour, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the mixture forms a cohesive texture. If the mixture feels too wet, add more breadcrumbs, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 3

Optional: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese for a richer, creamy flavor.

Step 4

Form the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties, about 1 inch thick.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Gently place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more olive oil to the skillet if necessary when flipping the patties.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a toaster or under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the pumpkin hash brown patty, a slice of tomato, and your choice of condiments. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve the pumpkin hash browns vegetarian burgers warm, with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
