Ingredients
- 5 cups butternut squash, shredded
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced
- 2/3 cup flour (we used white whole wheat)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, more or less to taste
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine
shredded butternut squash, eggs, minced sage, salt and pepper. Fold in flour
and add more if needed in order to hold fritters together.
Add olive oil to a large skillet
over medium heat, and heat until the oil sizzles when a drop of water is added.
Drop 1/4 cup of the mixture at a time, making sure to keep the fritters at
least 1-inch apart.
Cook about 2 minutes on each side,
or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
When cooked, transfer them to a
paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Repeat the procedure with the remaining
mixture
