Yield Makes about 1 dozen fritters

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups cooked spaghetti squash, strands separated (from 1 large squash)
1/3 cup arrowroot starch/flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 green onion, sliced
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 large eggs
1 to 2 tablespoons coconut oil or cooking fat of your choice

Steps:

  • Place the squash in a large bowl. If it's too moist, wrap it in some paper towels and squeeze out the excess liquid.
  • Add the arrowroot starch/flour, salt, green onion, and bacon and stir to combine well.
  • Whisk the eggs in a small bowl, then add them to the squash mixture and stir to combine.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add enough oil to coat the pan, and when it's hot, spoon the squash mixture to form fritters of your desired size; 1/4 cup per fritter works well.
  • When the fritters are crispy and browned on one side, about 5 minutes, use a spatula to flip them and continue cooking on the other side until crisped, about 5 minutes longer. Serve hot.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH FRITTERS WITH SRIRACHA MAYONNAISE



Spaghetti Squash Fritters With Sriracha Mayonnaise image

Found this on recipes.com. It is a great Cooking Light recipe. Add meat or cheese to the fritters for the not-as-healthy take (I added Sausage, Mozzarella and Prosciutto) on the recipe. Add sour cream to the mayo to lessen the heat of the sauce if you like. One tip, make sure you use a non-stick pan for the fritters and some Pam. It definitely makes things easier. Enjoy!

Time 55m

Yield 2 Fritters, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (2 lb) spaghetti squash
1 (8 ounce) package Baby Spinach
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 tablespoons grated fresh parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 large egg whites
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
5 teaspoons canola mayonnaise
2 teaspoons 2% low-fat milk
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (hot chile sauce, such as Huy Fong)
1 teaspoon cider vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. Cut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds; discard. Place squash halves, cut sides up, in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave at HIGH 20 minutes or until tender. Let stand 10 minutes. Scrape inside of squash with a fork to remove spaghettilike strands to measure 4 cups.
  • 2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add spinach to pan; cook 2 minutes or until spinach wilts. Place squash and spinach on a clean dish towel; squeeze until barely moist. Coarsely chop squash mixture, and place in a large bowl. Add panko and next 4 ingredients (through baking powder), and toss well to combine. Place egg whites in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into squash mixture.
  • 3. Fill a 1/4-cup dry measuring cup with squash mixture. Invert onto work surface; gently pat into a 3/4-inch-thick patty. Repeat procedure with remaining squash mixture, forming 10 patties total. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan, and swirl to coat. Add 5 patties to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove patties from pan; keep warm. Repeat the procedure with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and squash patties.
  • 4. Combine mayonnaise and remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Serve with fritters.
