  • 1 medium yellow onion or green onions
  • 1 egg high-quality recommended
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or fresh minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour can substitute almond flour
  • 1.5 tablespoons salted butter or unsalted
Optional Dipping Sauces
  • 1 cup sour cream for dipping
  • 1 cup salsa for dipping
  • 1 cup yogurt-based dip for dipping

Equipment

  • box grater
  • Mixing Bowl
  • skillet
  • fine-mesh colander
  • kitchen towel

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by shredding the yellow squash using a box grater or a food processor until you have a fine, consistent texture.
  2. Transfer the shredded squash to a fine-mesh colander set over a bowl to catch excess moisture, allowing it to drain while you prepare the other ingredients.
  3. Thoroughly squeeze the shredded squash using a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together one beaten egg, fine sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
  5. Incorporate the pressed squash and chopped yellow onion, stirring gently.
  6. Gently fold in coconut flour until the mixture holds together while remaining slightly moist.
  7. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add salted butter, allowing it to melt.
  8. Spoon ¼ cup of the batter into the skillet, making sure there's space between each fritter.
  9. Cook the fritters for about 4-5 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp.
  10. Carefully flip each fritter and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until both sides are evenly browned.
  11. Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess butter.
  12. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Ensure to squeeze the squash thoroughly to avoid sogginess. Cool fritters on a wire rack to maintain crispiness. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
