Ingredients

  • 2 cups butternut squash
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp smoked paprika depending on how smokey you like it (You can also use regular paprika)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 3 TBS bread crumbs
  • 2 TBS coconut oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Place shredded butternut squash in a large bowl, and add seasonings. Toss with a fork.

  2. Stir in the egg until well combined and mix in flour and breadcrumbs. (You can also use coconut flour for a gluten free dish)

  3. Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. I use my 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the butternut squash mixture into the pan. 

  4. Flatten in pan and fry until crisp and browned, 3-4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining squash mixture.

  5. Optional* Top with ketchup or sour cream and enjoy!
