- Cut the pumpkin into small, even-sized pieces to ensure they roast uniformly for the best texture.
- To save time, roast the pumpkin and prepare the couscous simultaneously. This will help streamline the cooking process.
- Make sure to finely chop the sage leaves for a more even distribution of their flavor throughout the fritter mixture.
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan over medium heat until golden brown for extra flavor before adding them to the mixture.
- Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron pan to fry the fritters to prevent sticking and ensure a crispy finish.
- If the mixture feels too wet, consider adding a bit of breadcrumbs to help bind the fritters together.
- For a more intense flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt and pepper to the mixture before forming the fritters.
