Crispy Pumpkin Fritters with Chilli Honey Drizzle
Golden, crisp pumpkin fritters with a drizzle of warm chilli honey. Soft in the middle, crunchy at the edges, and full of herby flavour, these fritters are an ideal side for grilled meats or seasonal mains. Serve hot for the best texture and a satisfying bite.
Ingredients
- 500 g Pumpkin peeled and coarsely grated
- 100 g Flour plain
- 2 Eggs lightly beaten
- 3 Spring Onions finely sliced
- 1 handful Fresh Parsley chopped
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- ½ tsp Black pepper freshly ground
- Vegetable oil for shallow frying
- 3 tbsp Honey
- ¼ tsp Chilli flakes dried
Instructions
- Place the grated pumpkin in a large bowl. Add the flour, eggs, spring onions, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape — if it’s too loose, add a little more flour.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the base generously. When the oil is hot, drop heaped tablespoons of the mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain excess oil. Keep warm in a low oven if cooking in batches.
- In a small saucepan, warm the honey with the chilli flakes over low heat for 2 minutes. Drizzle over the fritters just before serving.
