Easy Butternut Squash Fritters
These Easy Butternut Squash Fritters are so sweet and tender AND delicious! Season with a pinch of salt right after removing from the frying pan and elevated that squash flavor. We serve ours with sour cream for dipping. These are really amazing.
Equipment
- Non Stick Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 c Butternut Squash shredded
- 1/4 c All Purpose Flour
- 1 large Egg
- Garlic Powder to taste
- 1/4 tsp Salt more or less to taste

Instructions
- Using a food processor with a shredding blade OR a box grater, grate the peeled butternut squash.

- Whisk together the dry ingredients and add them to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add oil.
- Using a small cookie scoop, place mounds of the batter into the oil and using a spatula, flatten slightly. It may help to spray the spatula with cookie spray to avoid sticking.
