Crispy Kale and Pumpkin Croquettes

Ingredients

4 c. pumpkin

1 tsp. coconut oil

1/2 c. kale

1 c. almond flour

1 tbsp. chia seeds

1 tbsp. sesame seeds

sea salt & black pepper to taste

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. turmeric

Directions

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Dice pumpkin flesh, arrange in a baking dish, and bake for 45-60 minutes, until tender.

Allow pumpkin to cool before transferring to a food processor. Blend until smooth.

Mix in almond meal, chia seeds, and sesame seeds. Add cumin, turmeric, sea salt, and pepper.

Heat coconut oil in a large pan, and cook kale (torn into bite-sized pieces) until crispy, about 5 minutes.

Cradle a tablespoon sized amount of pumpkin mix in your palm, then press in a few pieces of kale. Use a little bit more of the mixture to cover the kale. Repeat until done, making 8 total croquettes, and place the croquettes in a baking dish. Bake croquettes for 15 minutes, until firm.

Serve with green salad. Enjoy!
