Butternut Squash Fritters. Delicious, addictive and easy to make! They serve as a great appetizer or as a snack.
Fritters are usually made of potatoes but this one is made of butternut squash, egg, flour, garlic, parmigiana cheese, salt and pepper. The garlic really accentuates the taste of the squash and once you've had one, you'll finish half the plate in one sitting!
I just love the sweetness to these healthy butternut squash fritters! Also, butternut squash is such a great source of fiber to add to your diet. I think that's why I love these fritters so much. Not only are they tasty but they're healthy as well 🙂
These are the best butternut squash fritters I've ever made and I'm so thrilled to share them with you! Don't forget to also check out my other fritter recipes below.

How to make butternut squash fritters
- Prepare your ingredients as listed above
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees and bake whole squash with skin on a baking sheet for 45 minutes. It's cooked when you poke a fork and it goes through squash easily
- Peel skin off with fork while squash is hot. Once peeled, slice squash in half to remove all the seeds
- In a large bowl, mash up squash with potato masher. Mix in salt, pepper, flour, egg, minced garlic, and parmigiana cheese. Combine well.
- In a large wide pan on medium high heat, pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil (you may need to add more as you fry).
- Using a large spoon, scoop a dollop of the mixture into the hot oil. Flatten edges with fork to get them crispier than the middle
- Fry until golden brown on each side and repeat these steps until all your fritters are done
- Garnish cooked butternut squash fritters with some parmigiana cheese
