This vegan pumpkin recipe is an autumnal alternative to tater tots. From Nora Rušev at the blog Savory Nothings, the homemade pumpkin tots contain really simple ingredients and are perfect for people who have good allergies, dietary restrictions or adhere to a strictly animal-free lifestyle. The shareable snack can be either baked or fried as well.
To recreate this vegan pumpkin recipe at home, you will need a can of pumpkin plus some pantry staples -- whole wheat bread crumbs, salt, olive oil or cooking spray, ground nutmeg and flour. You can enjoy the bites as a fall-appropriate munchie, a side dish or even an appetizer. Nora appears to be serving them with ketchup, but you could easily experiment with dipping sauces.
