Cheesy Butternut Squash Fritters
My favorite way to use up that butternut squash for the season.
We are obsessed with these little fritters because they are so simple to make with only 5 ingredients. Use any cheese you have on hand like shredded mozzarella. Make sure you season the mixture well with your salt and pepper.

I have not tried this recipe with other flours, but in my experience it should work with Gluten Free flour, rice flour or oat flour. Should probably also work with almond flour too!

Cheesy Butternut Squash Fritters
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1¾ lbs butternut squash, peeled + grated
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Italian blend seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1½ cups shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
- 2 tbs olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, lightly beat your eggs. Add in the butternut squash shreds, flour seasonings to taste and the mozzarella. Stir until just combined.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet on medium high, and working in two or three batches, spoon about 1/4 cup of the mixture onto the pan. Flatten them out with your spatula and then use it to create a nice round shaped fritter. Cook about 3 minutes per side on medium heat until golden. Transfer to a paper towel lined platter and repeat with the remaining batter.
Notes
Serve with my Lazy Tzatziki.

recipe mentions sharp cheddar and directions mention mozzarella cheese….which one do you use??
Hi Sherry, sorry about that! You can use either one but I used white sharp cheddar here.
These are likely best when eaten fresh, but have you ever made these ahead of time and then reheated them?
Hi Yvonne, Absolutely and they still taste awesome!
on a keto diet… can I cook them in coconut oil?
definitely! use any oil that works for you
