Description

Try these butternut squash fritters if you want to skip the starch of potato pancakes. Starting with frozen butternut squash spirals makes prep a breeze.

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package Green Giant Veggie Spirals® Butternut Squash, thawed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1 Blot excess moisture from Green Giant Veggie Spirals® Butternut Squash with paper towel. Combine butternut squash, flour, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and sage in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir gently until mixture is just combined.
2 Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook 4 pancakes (use about 3 tablespoons mixture per pancake), turning once, until pancakes are golden brown, about 6 minutes. Repeat with additional oil and batter.
3 Drain pancakes on paper towel-lined plate.
4 Serve pancakes with plain Greek yogurt or sour cream, if desired.
