Ingredients to make Pumpkin Burgers:
- 1 kilogram of pumpkin (squash or auyama)
- 3 tablespoons of oatmeal
- 4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 pinch of salt and pepper
How to make Pumpkin Burgers:
Wash the pumpkin very well and then remove the skin and cut it into medium pieces. Tip: If you find it too solid, boil it for a few minutes, let it cool down and proceed to peel it.
Grate the whole fruit with a medium to fine cut. If you don’t have this type of grater, use the one you have at home.
Add the rest of the ingredients, that is, the garlic, the oatmeal, the breadcrumbs, the egg, the salt and the pepper. We have chosen to make vegetarian pumpkin and oatmeal burgers, but you could also make them vegan by replacing the egg with a mixture of chickpea flour and water.
Stir everything until there is a more uniform mixture. If it’s too runny, add more oatmeal and breadcrumbs. Form the pumpkin patties about the size of your palm.
Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the pumpkin oatmeal burgers for about 6 minutes on each side. When they are toasted on both sides, they are ready to serve.
Serve them with your favorite side dish for dinner or lunch. The pumpkin burger recipe is very easy, quick and nutritious, perfect for getting the little ones to consume this type of food that is so beneficial for them and for adults to follow a healthy diet.
