Ingredients

• 2 cups Pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, garlic powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Step 2

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs, stirring until the mixture reaches a thick, scoopable consistency. If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs or flour.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 4

Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin mixture and gently flatten it between your palms to form a patty.

Step 5

Carefully place the patties into the heated skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 6

Transfer cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining pumpkin mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed.

Step 7

Once all the patties are cooked, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired and serve warm.
