I’m completely aware pumpkin season it’s unfortunately over. Here in Scotland, however, we can find Squash all year long, and I can’t help myself. These squash burgers are so quick, easy and tasty, you’ll run to get some pumpkin as well.
I used some frozen squash I had in the freezer, but you could definitely use fresh squash or pumpkin if you have some and follow the recipe as it is. As for the tofu, I suggest to use some firm tofu, otherwise the result would be mushy. The chickpea flour can be substituted by any other kind of flours, I’d suggest not plain, though.
I was so surprised when I made these. The result was amazing. They stick together and they’re crispy on the outside. These burgers are perfect when paired to some guacamole or hummus. The smaller sized burgers are great you could make bigger burgers and serve them on some buns. They really are effortless and mouth-watering. Perfect for a light, healthy weekly dinner.
