Butternut Squash Fritters (Low Carb & Gluten-Free)

Adapted from JustATaste

Ingredients

Makes 20 fritters

5 cups shredded butternut squash

⅔ almond flour (or GF breadcrumbs)

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 ½ tablespoons minced sage

¼ teaspoon fine grain salt

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C) and place a rack in the middle.

In a large bowl combine shredded butternut squash, almond flour, eggs, sage, salt, and pepper.

Mix well until combined.

Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large heavy frying pan over medium-high heat.

When sizzling scoop 2 heaping tablespoons of mixture into the pan, press them flat with the help of a spatula, and cook until golden-brown, about 3 minutes on each side.

Drain briefly on paper towels to soak up any excess grease, and immediately transfer to an oven proof dish and then into the hot oven until ready to eat.

Repeat to make all fritters.

Serve topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream and sprinkle with finely chopped sage.
