Shredded Sweet Pumpkin Pizza – Just Pan-Fry It! An Easy Sweet Pumpkin Recipe
Wondering what to do with your sweet pumpkin? This pizza, made with simple ingredients, can be prepared without an oven! It resembles a large savory pancake, but the combination of sweet pumpkin and savory cheese is absolutely divine! Perfect as a snack for kids or a special occasion treat.
Main Ingredients- 1/4 small sweet pumpkin
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 egg
- Cooking oil, for frying
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the sweet pumpkin thoroughly. Remove the seeds and peel it. You can leave the peel on if you prefer, but I removed it for a softer texture. Then, thinly shred the pumpkin. Place the shredded pumpkin in a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of flour. The flour will help bind the shredded pumpkin together, acting as a batter.
Step 2
Crack 1 egg into the bowl with the shredded pumpkin and flour. Sprinkle it evenly over the mixture.
Step 3
Using a spatula or spoon, mix everything together well until the shredded pumpkin, flour, and egg are evenly combined. If the mixture feels too stiff, you can add a little more egg.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Scoop about one ladleful of the sweet pumpkin mixture and pour it into the pan. Spread it out evenly to form a round shape, similar to how you would make a pancake.
Step 5
Once the edges start to turn golden brown, carefully flip the pizza using a spatula. Cook it over low heat, ensuring both sides are golden and cooked through. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning.
Step 6
After one side is cooked, generously sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Once the cheese is added, cover the pan with a lid and cook over very low heat until the cheese is completely melted and gooey. If you’re using an electric stove, the residual heat might be enough to melt the cheese. Once the cheese is melted and slightly golden, your pizza is ready! For an extra touch, you can drizzle some syrup or honey over the top for a sweet finish.
