This dish is perfect for those looking to incorporate more vegetables into their breakfast or brunch.

3.Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil once heated.
4.Once the oil is hot, use your hands to shape the pumpkin mixture into small patties, about the size of your palm.
5.Place the patties into the frying pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
6.Once cooked, remove the rostis from the pan and place on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
