Happy first Sunday of November! Today kicks off the start of my #SquashSunday series where I will be sharing a recipe every Sunday featuring a different type of squash. For this weeks recipe, I will be starting with one of the most familiar squash’s, the butternut!

Ingredients
- 1 Butternut squash, peeled and shredded (preferably w/a food processor)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp dried sage
- 1/2 tsp dried time
- pinch of nutmeg
- salt and pepper
- 2 T olive oil
Topping:
- plain greek yogurt
- chives, thinly sliced

Directions
In a large bowl, combine squash, flour, garlic, egg, and herbs. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop a ball of batter for each fritter, placing it gently in the skillet. Flatten the butternut squash fritters with a spatula, and let cook evenly on both sides, about 5 minutes on each side. Serve immediately, and top with greek yogurt & chives if you choose.
One of the reasons why I love this recipe is because these fritters are full proof. There are a lot of fritter recipes that easily fall apart or are difficult to deal with, but these babies stay together in the pan and are hard to screw up!
