Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, shredded Manchego cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs, chopped parsley, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
Roll the pumpkin and cheese mixture into small balls, molding them into croquette shapes. If the mixture is too wet to shape, add more breadcrumbs until it reaches the desired consistency.
-
In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
-
Carefully place the pumpkin and cheese croquettes in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry the croquettes for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crisp on all sides.
-
Once cooked, remove the croquettes from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve the Pumpkin and Cheese Croquettes hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
