- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- to taste spices
- to taste extra virgin olive oil
Steps
The baked pumpkin fritters are super easy and quick to prepare. First, clean the pumpkin, remove the skin and seeds, and grate it directly into a bowl with a coarse grater. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Add the flour, salt, black pepper, spices to taste (I used rosemary and garlic powder) and mix everything together.
Take a bit of the mixture with a spoon and flatten it in the palm of your hand to form the baked pumpkin fritters.
Place the baked pumpkin fritters on a baking sheet greased with a little extra virgin olive oil and brush the tops with a bit of oil.
Bake the baked pumpkin fritters in a preheated oven at 428 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes until they are golden brown.
Notes:
The baked pumpkin fritters can be kept at room temperature for a few hours or in the fridge for 2/3 days. You can flavor them with your preferred spices, and you can also add some grated Parmesan to the mixture. If you want to make them gluten-free, replace the all-purpose flour with rice flour.
