These crispy, flavorful fritters are quick to make with just five ingredients, perfect for a healthy snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Main

  • 5 cups butternut squash (shredded)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage (minced)
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt (more or less to taste)
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2/3 cup flour (white whole-wheat)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions 

  • Combine shredded squash, eggs, sage, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Fold in flour until mixture holds together.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop 1/4 cup portions of batter, spacing at least 1 inch apart.
  • Cook about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining batter.

Notes

Ensure the batter is firm enough to hold shape before frying.
