Recipe type: Main
Serves: 3-4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 large summer squash, shredded (about 4 cups)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ¼ cup chickpea flour
  • ¼ tsp salt and pepper, each
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Canola oil, for frying
  • Ketchup for serving
Instructions
  1. Fill a clean kitchen towel with about half of the summer squash shreds. Working over the sink, squeeze out as much moisture as you can. Repeat with the second half.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the squash, egg, chickpea flour, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  3. Heat oil in a large heavy bottomed skillet. When hot, drop spoonfuls of the fritter batter into the oil. Flatten with a spatula and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. I like to work in batches of 4 fritters at a time.
  4. Repeat with remaining batter. Drain fritters on a paper towel lined plate. Serve with ketchup. Makes 12-16 fritters.
