Ingredients
  

  • ½ kabocha squash seeds removed, cubed small
  • ½ brown onion diced
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp sage
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp cracked pepper
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ¼ cup cornflour
  • ½ cup unsweetened plant-based milk
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

  • Take cubed kabocha and steam until tender enough to mash but not too soft.
  • While the kabocha is steaming fry in a small amount of water or stock the onion and garlic.
  • Once tender, allow the kabocha to cool, then remove the skin with a knife or spoon.
  • Transfer the kabocha to a bowl and mash with a fork, then add the onion and garlic mix and stir through.
  • Add all the spices and mix through.
  • Put cornflour, milk and breadcrumbs into separate bowls.
  • Using a spoon, form the mashed mix into balls and roll the balls in the cornflour, then the milk and finally the breadcrumbs.
  • Place each ball into an air fryer basket. Once complete, air-fry for 15 minutes at 180°C (350℉), turning often.
  • Enjoy!
