Advice

Alternatively, you can blanch the pumpkin in boiling water or steam it. If you want to prepare pumpkin burgers without bread, you can replace it with 100 grams of boiled potatoes or cooked chickpeas pureed. You can also enrich the dough with ham or cheese in pieces, to make the pumpkin burgers even tastier.

Those who prefer can bake the pumpkin burgers in the oven: place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and cook at 180 ° C for about 20 minutes.
