Spiced Pumpkin & Chickpea Fritters with Honey-Lime Yogurt Dip

These crispy pumpkin fritters are packed with warm spices and hearty chickpeas, perfect for a light lunch or appetizer. The tangy honey-lime yogurt dip adds a refreshing contrast.

Ingredients:

  • Fritters:

    • 1 cup cooked pumpkin puree
    • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    • ½ cup wheat flour
    • ¼ cup rolled oats
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
    • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • Salt and black pepper to taste
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
  • Honey-Lime Yogurt Dip:

    • 1 cup plain yogurt
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 1 tablespoon lime juice
    • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork until mostly broken down. Add the pumpkin puree, flour, oats, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the chickpea mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly.
  3. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  4. While the fritters are cooking, whisk together the yogurt, honey, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl.
  5. Serve the warm pumpkin fritters with the cool honey-lime yogurt dip.
