Ingredients

1
tablespoon olive oil
14
cup diced onion
2
grated butternut squash, packed
1
teaspoon curry powder
12
teaspoon ground cumin
12
teaspoon sea salt
12
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1
large egg, beaten
14
cup garbanzo-fava bean flour (such as Bob's Red Mill®)
3
tablespoons corn flour (such as Bob's Red Mill®)
2
tablespoons olive oil
14
cup sour cream for garnish (Optional)
2
tablespoons pumpkin seeds for garnish (Optional)

Instructions

1. Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until softened, approximately 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine the grated butternut squash with curry powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Gently mix with a fork, then incorporate the beaten egg, garbanzo-fava bean flour, and corn flour. Add the cooled onions and combine well.
3. In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the butternut squash mixture into the pan and flatten it into a patty about 1/4-inch thick. Pan-fry until crispy and golden brown, around 3 minutes per side. Repeat this process with the remaining squash mixture.
4. Before serving, top the crispy cakes with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds for an optional garnish.
