Crispy Pumpkin Fritters (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1-2 tablespoons of olive oil for frying.
02 -
½ onion, finely chopped.
03 -
¼ cup of shredded parmesan cheese.
04 -
1 large egg, lightly beaten.
05 -
2 cups of grated squash (I picked butternut squash).
06 -
¼ teaspoon of salt, or season it as you like.
07 -
1-2 sprinkles of chili flakes or ground black pepper.
08 -
¼ cup of all-purpose flour.
09 -
½-1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, fresh or dried.
# Instructions:
01 -
Dry off the grated squash after shredding it. Toss it into a medium mixing bowl. Stir in the onion, flour, parmesan, egg, salt, pepper, and parsley. Shape into little patties or spoon out small heaps, then press them flat with a spoon. (I made about six patties this way).
02 -
Heat some olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook a few patties at once (I did three at a time) until both sides are golden brown. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up extra oil. Serve hot right away.
# Notes:
01 -
You can enjoy these patties warm or let them cool down to room temp.

They're awesome as a side or for a quick snack.
