Description
These crunchy fritters will be your new go-to appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1/2 large spaghetti squash (3 lb or 1.5 kg), seeds removed
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon (3 g) Italian seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon (10 g) garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon (7 g) onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Soften the spaghetti squash by placing it on a microwaveable plate (cover with a papertowel) and microwaving it for 8 minutes on high.
- When softened, you should be able to remove the strands easily with a fork. You can also bake the spaghetti squash, but it takes a lot longer to soften.
- Remove the flesh and let cool for a few minutes before mixing with the eggs and all the seasoning.
- Add the olive oil to a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Using a large spoon, scoop squash mixture into the skillet and flatten slightly (makes approx. 8 fritters). Cook for 3 minutes then carefully turn and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Enjoy.
