Pumpkin rosti of butternut squash

Pumpkin rösti is a new version of the classic recipe. Traditionally, rösti is made from grated potatoes, but here it is replaced with grated butternut squash. If you wish, you can easily replace the pumpkin with potatoes for a more classic rösti taste. Or you can use other root vegetables such as beetroot, sweet potato or parsnip.

Rösti in the oven

These rösti are cooked in the oven rather than frying them in a pan. It is considerably easier, as you can cook them all at once. And then you don't have to worry about them falling apart when you have to turn them. You can make your pumpkin rösti in any size you prefer. But it is recommended to make small rösti, as they will be crispier - and they will look more festive when served. 

Rösti with smoked salmon

The delicious pumpkin rösti are like a green version of blinis. Instead of small pancakes, the base consists of grated pumpkin. The topping with crème fraiche and smoked salmon is, however, completely classic, and it really goes perfectly with the sweet taste of butternut. Rösti is the perfect base for all kinds of recipes, so definitely vary your choice of toppings. For example, try a Mexican-inspired version with cheddar, salsa and avocado. Or use them as pizza bases with tomato sauce, cheese and arugula. 

TIP: try too baked salmon with sweet potato rösti or falafel pancakes with mint dressing
