Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 eggs eggs
  • 1.75 pounds butternut squash (peeled and grated)
  • 0.67 cup all purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add grated butternut squash, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and shredded cheese. Mix until well combined.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the mixture onto the skillet for each fritter. Flatten slightly with the back of a spatula.
  3. Cook about 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
