Ingredients
-
Cooking spray
-
½ cup all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon dried sage
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
¼ teaspoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
3 cups shredded peeled butternut squash (12 ounces)
-
¾ cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
-
2 scallions, sliced
-
1 large egg, beaten
-
Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (Optional)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
-
Whisk flour, sage, pepper, baking powder and salt together in a small bowl. Combine squash, Cheddar, scallions and egg in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture to the squash mixture and stir well to coat.
-
Scoop 2 generous tablespoonfuls of the squash mixture into a mound on the prepared baking sheet; flatten into a 3-inch round. Repeat with the remaining mixture, making 12 fritters. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Bake, turning once, until crisp and golden, about 25 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream (or yogurt), if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
