Crispy meets creamy. This recipe explores two sides of our favourite Autumn ingredient. We use part of the butternut squash for a creamy curry and the other part for crunchy croquettes! A wonderful play of textures and flavours which you have to try.

Step 3/7
Cut the other half of the pumpkin into slices 1 cm thick and roll them first in the flour mixture, then in the plant-based drink and finally in the breadcrumbs. Alternatively, the flour mixture can be mixed with the plant-based milk and the slices can then be dipped in this mixture and rolled in the panko. This method results in a slightly thicker coating.
