Touted in Pinterest's posting of 24 Low Carb Spaghetti Squash recipes, this one is from Kellysambitiouskitchen and what a treat, a fritter that isn't fried. You get to use your waffle iron to cook these fritters. Pretty, aren't they? AND they taste good too. These were a big hit here in the End of the Rainbow Valley.
Here are the ingredients you will need:
INGREDIENTS- makes 18-20 fritters
-
2 eggs
-
⅔ c flour
-
2 c spaghetti or butternut squash, cooked (about 50 min)
-
2 c quinoa, cooked
-
½ c parmesan cheese, grated
-
½ c shredded italian blend cheese
-
4 scallions, thinly sliced
-
6 dashes of favorite hot sauce
-
kosher salt + pepper to taste
-
lite sour cream to garnishINSTRUCTIONS
-
Plug in waffle iron to get it super hot-n-ready.
-
In mixer bowl, add eggs.Beat, on high, for 2 min.
-
Add flour + continue beating to combine. {about 1 min}
-
Add squash, quinoa, cheeses, scallions &hot sauce to egg mixture.
-
Beat on medium, until fully combined / uniform consistency has been achieved.
-
Once waffle iron's ready, spray with non stickcooking spray.
-
Use 1 T measuring spoon to portion out squash mixture.
-
Drop one dollop of mixture/ per section onto waffle iron + close the waffle iron lid down! (my iron makes 2 at a time)
-
I cooked a minutes more, (total 7 min) Use rubber spatula to easily lift fritters up out of waffle iron.Serve with garnish of sour cream + extra scallions, if desired.I do need to check if the Butternut Squash is as low carb as the Spaghetti Squash, I bet the color would be different...
Since there were just two of us and I had made an entire recipe, I made all up all of the batter and froze the leftovers.
ENJOY.
