Instructions

  • Peel and grate your squash. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of salt over it, and let stand for 1 hour.
    1 tbsp salt, 8 cups shredded, drained, orange-fleshed squash (like pumpkin or butternut squash) tightly packed
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Using your hands, toss, mix, and gently squeeze the squash for a few minutes to release its liquid.
  • Grate your onions, and add it in the bowl containing the squash. Mix to combine.
    2 medium onions, grated
  • Take your grated squash and onion mixture, a handful at a time, and using a cheese cloth or your hands squeeze out any excess water. Place in a large bowl.
    8 cups shredded, drained, orange-fleshed squash (like pumpkin or butternut squash) tightly packed
  • After you have drained and squeezed as much water as possible out of your squash, mix it together with the rest of the ingredients.
    3 eggs, 1 cup crumbled Greek feta, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 cup bread crumbs, 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • Once everything is well combined, take a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and form a ball. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and flatten slightly with your hand, or spatula so that each piece is about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Bake in the middle of your oven for approximately 45-50 minutes or until golden brown on each underside. Flip them over halfway through the cooking time. Keep on eye on them, you don't want them to burn.
  • Remove pan from oven and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully use a spatula to transfer your fritters to a serving platter.
  • Enjoy!
