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.
