Summer Squash Fritters
A crispy, delicious, and healthy way to serve yellow summer squash!
Equipment
- 1 Food processor with grater attachment
- 1 hand held grater If you don't have a food processor
- 1 mixing bowl, large
- 1 Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 1 lb Summer Squash
- 1 cup flour
- 1 large onion yellow, white, or sweet
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Start by washing your squash and cutting off the stem ends. If grating by hand, simply slice each squash in half long ways. If using a food processor, cut them into chunks just small enough to go through the processor. I used a food processor with my medium sized grating attachment.
- Process through the squash, grating them using your preferred method. Also grate an onion separately.
- Strain any extra juice from your summer squash. You can either put the grated squash into a metal strainer and press the juice out, or wrap the grated squash in cheese cloth and squeeze it. Tip: Extra juice can make for fun drinks or ice cubes.
- Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix. While the bowl rests, start a frying pan on medium high heat with a bit of olive oil.
- Once the pan is hot, scoop the fritter batter into the pan. I typically make each fritter about one ice cream scoop’s worth, but you can size them to your liking. Cook for around 3 minutes until the bottom starts browning. Then flip the fritter and fry for another 3 minutes or so until both sides are golden brown.
- You can cook as many fritters as your pan allows at once. It’ll go faster if you cook in batches. Replenish your oil in between each batch.Set out to cool on sheets, freezing them if desired. Enjoy :)
