Crispy and tasty baked pumpkin cutlets. The recipe I want to tell you about today features my beloved pumpkin in a simple and quick recipe. I simply grated the pumpkin into thin strips using a grater with large holes and then added a few other ingredients to form the Cutlets. I simply baked them, but if you prefer, you can also fry them, cook them in a pan, or in an air fryer; they will always be delicious. If you like pumpkin, but even if you’re not a huge fan, this is a recipe not to miss. Let’s head to the kitchen and prepare the Breaded Baked Pumpkin together.

Ingredients for the Pumpkin Cutlets

How to Make Baked Pumpkin
Clean the pumpkin by removing the rind, seeds, and internal fibers. Cut it into 3 parts. Using a grater with large holes, shred the pumpkin into thin strips inside a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper.
Continue by adding the grated parmesan and 5 tablespoons of breadcrumbs. Mix the mixture well with a fork. Mix the remaining breadcrumbs with the chopped rosemary in a plate. Take a handful of the mixture, compact and flatten it between your hands.
Pass the Pumpkin Cutlets into the breadcrumbs and place them side by side on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle a little oil on top. Cook the Breaded Pumpkin in a preheated oven at 392°F in static mode for about 20 minutes.
See you tomorrow with a new recipe, a hug, Loredana
Loredana’s Tips
If you prefer, you can also fry the Pumpkin Cutlets in hot seed oil
If there is any pumpkin left, store it in a container in the fridge; you just need to heat it for a few minutes in the hot oven or microwave to make it crispy again
