Ingredients

2 cups seeded, grated summer squash
½ cup all-purpose baking mix (such as Bisquick®)
⅓ cup milk
1 egg
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter, melted
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch garlic and herb seasoning, or more to taste
⅓ cup oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

Mix grated squash, baking mix, milk, egg, Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic-herb seasoning together in a large bowl.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop tablespoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil about 1 inch apart.

Repeat with remaining batter, adding oil to the skillet as needed.
