Description
Enjoy these simple and delicious Crispy Summer Squash Patties, a perfect way to use fresh summer squash. They are pan-fried to a golden crisp.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups grated summer squash (about 2 medium squash)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Squeeze excess moisture from the grated squash using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed squash, flour, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the squash mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form patties. Do not overcrowd the skillet.
- Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure all moisture is removed from the squash.
- You can add other herbs like parsley or dill to the mixture.
- Serve with a side of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
