Ingredients

For the Fritters:
  • 1 ~2-lb butternut squash peeled, seeded and grated on a box grater*
  • 1 medium-large yellow or sweet onion halved, peeled and sliced as thin as possible*
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • ¾ cup chick pea flour
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 egg
  • Flaky sea salt such as Maldon, for sprinkling
For the Spiced Yogurt:
  • ¾ cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 1 small garlic clove very finely minced
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon Coriander
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice

Notes

  • * I use the grater attachment on my food processor to make quick work of the squash and a mandoline to make super thin, even slices of onion.
  • food processor
  • The fritters can be fried, then stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in advance, as can the yogurt. Reheat the fritters in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until hot and crispy.
