Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cooked spaghetti squash, squeezed dry
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup almond flour
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup finely chopped chives
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti squash, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, beaten egg, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the fritters in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.
Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra crispiness, ensure you squeeze as much moisture as possible from the cooked spaghetti squash.
You can substitute Gruyere cheese for Parmesan for a different flavor profile.
Serve with a side of marinara sauce, aioli, or a simple yogurt-dill dip.
These fritters are a great way to use up leftover spaghetti squash.
Consider these a healthy snack option, similar to how you might use a meal planning service for quick bites.
