These healthy butternut squash fritters are crazy delicious and super easy to make, they are crispy on the outside and soft inside. Plus, they are inexpensive, packed with nutrients and baked, not fried!
Preheat the oven to 400F° and grease or line with parchment paper a baking pan.
Peel the butternut squash, chop it in half lengthways, remove the seeds and grate it. Measure 4 cups.
In a bowl, place the shredded squash, eggs, sage, flour, parmesan, salt* & pepper. Mix well until combined.
Take a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and form a ball. Place on baking pan and flatten slightly with your hand, so that each piece is about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake the fritters for 10 minutes, then turn them over and keep baking for a further 10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Serve while they're still warm.
Notes
*SALT: keep in mind that 1/2 tsp of salt is enough alongside parmesan cheese which is quite high in salt, but if you decide to skip parmesan, make sure to adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
