Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup Cooked pumpkin puree
1/2 cup Gluten-free flour (or all-purpose flour)
1/3 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
1 large Egg
2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Olive oil (for frying) as needed
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pumpkin puree, gluten-free flour, crumbled feta cheese, and the egg. Stir until well blended.
Add the chopped parsley, green onions, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
Once the oil is shimmering, scoop about 1/4 cup of the fritter mixture into the skillet, gently flattening each scoop with the back of a spatula.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side or until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Continue cooking the remaining batter in batches.
Serve the fritters warm, optionally with a yogurt-based dipping sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
