Squash Fritters

Squash Fritters

Squash Fritters make a perfect summer side dish. They will go great with just about anything that you are grilling. You could also serve them as a starter or a vegetarian meal.

This recipe works just as well with zucchini or a combination of both squashes so use whichever you have on hand!

 This is a simple recipe with just a few ingredients that goes together fast. With a cook time of 4 minutes it’s hard to resist  making them all summer long. If you are looking for additional summer recipes, check out 30 Simple Summer Cookout Side Dishes.

Summer squash is naturally a low calorie vegetable so these fritters make a healthy substitute for a heavier potato side dish. You could serve them with either a dollop of Avocado Crema or sour cream.

Serves: 8 fritters Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 4 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 cups grated yellow summer squash, about 2 pounds
  • 3 tablespoons scallions, minced
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2-4 tablespoons olive oil for frying

Instructions

Place your grated squash on paper towels or a clean dish towel and squeeze the moisture out.

In a large bowl combine the grated squash, scallions, flour, parmesan cheese, egg, salt and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium low heat. Measure a level ¼ cup of the squash mixture and add to the skillet. You should be able to fit 4-5 fritters at a time in a 10 inch skillet.

Fry for 2 minutes over medium high low until browned. Flip the fritters and cook the other side for 2 additional minutes until browned. Remove to a plate.

Check the skillet to see if you need additional oil for the second batch. Add another tablespoon or two as needed.

Repeat the frying process with the second batch of fritters.

Here is a little help as to how to determine how much squash to buy in order to get 4 cups of grated squash. One pound of squash will yield 2 cups of grated squash. The large squash pictured below is a pound and the smaller ones are 6 ounces each.

Avocado Crema is a healthier option to serve with the fritters than sour cream and takes only a minute to make.Squash Fritters
