Pumpkin is definitely my comfort veggie! I love the sweet, intense flavor from this veggie and love to try new ways of using it in my recipes.
This Patties are so easy to make and such a great recipe for meal prep, you can freeze it for up to 3 months.
It’s an amazing quick lunch or dinner for busy days!
I served with roasted broccoli and Mint Creamy Pesto Sauce but I am sure it would also be great with salad and some hummus or Babaganoush
