How to prepare the Pumpkin Cutlets
Clean the pumpkin by removing the skin, seeds, and fibers. Cut it into small cubes. Pour 1 1/3 tablespoons of olive oil into a pan, add the cleaned and thinly sliced onion and the pumpkin.
Salt and cover with a lid. Let it cook on medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. Pour the cooked pumpkin into a bowl and mash it with a fork to make a puree.
It’s okay if there are some larger pieces of pumpkin. Add the chopped aromatic herbs, a pinch of pepper, and the grated parmesan. Mix and add 1 oz of breadcrumbs. Mix well.
Now form the Pumpkin Cutlets: take a portion of the mixture and flatten it between your hands. You can make them larger or smaller as you prefer. Dip them in breadcrumbs and lay them on a greased baking sheet or lined with parchment paper. Form all the Pumpkin Cutlets in the same way.
Slightly oil the surface. Cook the Pumpkin Croquettes in the air fryer at 374°F for 15-16 minutes. Alternatively, you can cook them in a preheated oven at 374°F in static mode for 18-20 minutes.
