Description

Calling all fritter fans! If zucchini fritters had you eating your veggies all summer long, then I’ve got you covered for the months ahead with their cold weather counterpart: 5-Ingredient Butternut Squash Fritters. This quick and easy recipe pairs shredded butternut squash with chopped fresh sage. And allow me to be the first to tell you that you will not be limiting yourself to just one, but rather, one stack. They’re hot, crispy, salty and the ultimate way to sneak squash onto the plates of even the most veggie-averse eaters. Best of all, the squash is shredded in seconds with the aid of a food processor, or you can go the arm workout route with a good ol’ box grater. But no matter which way you slice ’em, one thing is certain: These veggie fritters are guaranteed to make the regular meal rotation any night of the week. Craving more?

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the shredded butternut squash, flour, eggs, minced sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to the bowl, stirring until the mixture is combined. Line a plate with paper towels. Liberally coat the bottom of a large sauté pan with vegetable oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop 3-tablespoon mounds of the mixture into the pan, pressing them lightly into rounds and spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip them once and cook an additional 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked throughout. Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle them with salt. Repeat the scooping and cooking process with the remaining mixture. Kelly’s Note: Butternut squash can be peeled and then shredded on either the large hole of a box grater or, to save time, in a food processor.

Serves: About 15 fritters
