ZUCCHINI OR SUMMER SQUASH FRITTERS
These fritters will be amazing if they're made with shredded zucchini or summer squash. Easy to prepare, they're a tasty afternoon snack. The outer edges are crispy and the center stays soft. Onion adds a tiny hint of sweetness to the fritters. We placed ours in the oven to keep warm and they turned out perfect.

Steps:
- 1. If planning to serve as soon as they're done, preheat oven to 250 degrees. Have a baking sheet lined with paper towels ready.
- 2. Trim ends off zucchini and grate them either on the large holes of a box grater or, if you have one, using the shredding blade of a food processor.
- 3. In a large bowl, toss zucchini with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and set aside for 10 minutes.
- 4. Wring out the zucchini in one of the following ways: pressing it against the holes of a colander with a wooden spoon to extract the water, squeezing out small handfuls at a time, or wrapping it up in a clean dishtowel or piece of cheesecloth and wringing away.
- 5. Return deflated mass of zucchini shreds to bowl. Taste and if you think it could benefit from more salt add a little bit more. Stir in onion, egg, flour, and some freshly ground black pepper.
- 6. In a large heavy skillet, heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Drop small bunches of the zucchini mixture onto the skillet only a few at a time so they don't become crowded and lightly nudge them flatter with the back of your spatula.
- 7. Cook the fritters over moderately high heat until the edges underneath are golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the fritters and fry them on the other side until browned underneath again, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
- 8. Drain briefly on paper towels then transfer to the baking sheet.
- 9. Then place into the warm oven until needed. Repeat the process, keeping the pan well-oiled, with remaining batter.
- 10. Cook's Note: I like to make sure that the fritters have at least 10 minutes in the oven to finish setting and getting extra crisp.
- 11. Do ahead: (This is the best part!) These fritters keep well, either chilled in the fridge for the better part of a week and or frozen in a well-sealed package for months. When you're ready to use them, simply spread them out on a tray in a 325 degree oven until they're hot and crisp again.
SUMMER SQUASH FRITTERS
This is a fast and easy snack or lunch idea. These summer squash fritters are so delicious it's hard to believe how good they are for you. It only takes a few minutes to make, and they are so crispy they're addictive. This is a great way to use the abundance of squash at the end of the season. There are so many vitamins in this, but the kids will only know how good they are.

Steps:
- Place grated squash in a colander and squeeze out all excess water; you should have about 1 cup grated squash. Transfer squash to a bowl. Add onion, flour, egg, baking powder, and salt and stir batter together.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter into the hot pan and use the back of a large spoon to flatten fritters to 3 to 4 inches in diameter and to 1/4- to 1/8-inch thickness. Cook until edges are deep brown, about 1 minute. Flip over and cook 30 seconds more. Transfer fritters to a plate lined with a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat with remaining batter, melting more butter in the pan as needed.
- Serve warm topped with Cheddar cheese, onion, and sour cream.

- In a large bowl, combine the shredded butternut squash, flour, eggs, minced sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to the bowl, stirring until the mixture is combined. Line a plate with paper towels.
- Liberally coat the bottom of a large sauté pan with vegetable oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop 3-tablespoon mounds of the mixture into the pan, pressing them lightly into rounds and spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip them once and cook an additional 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked throughout. Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle them with salt. Repeat the scooping and cooking process with the remaining mixture.
- Butternut squash can be peeled and then shredded on either the large hole of a box grater or, to save time, in a food processor.
