Butternut Squash Fritters are so easy to make and addictive to eat. They serve as a great appetizer. 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!

- In a large wide pan on medium high heat, pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil (you may need to add more as you fry).
