Spaghetti Squash Fritters

Yield 4 Servings

Free of: gluten and top 8 allergens.

A delicious and healthier alternative to hash browns, potato pancakes or latkes!

Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash (2 cups cooked)

2 tbsp flaxseed meal (see recipe notes)

8 tbsp lukewarm water, divided (6 tbsp + 2 tbsp)

2/3 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend

2 cups quinoa, cooked

1/2 cup allergy-friendly grated parmesan cheese, such as Violife Just Like Parmesan

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh spinach

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp olive oil, or more as needed

chives or green onions, chopped (optional)

Desired toppings, such as allergy-friendly sour cream, applesauce, or pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375-degrees F. Cut off the stem of the squash. Then split in half lengthwise, by cutting from stem to end. Scrape out the seeds using a melon baller or spoon. Rub the inside of the halves lightly with olive oil. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Bake for 40-60 minutes, until the interiors are easily pierced with a fork. The time will depend on the oven, the size of your squash and its moisture content. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly for 10 minutes before flipping the squash so the cut sides are face up. Continue to cool for another 5-10 minutes. When the squash is cool, use a fork to scrape and fluff the strands from the sides of the squash.
  3. Measure out 2 cups of squash, reserving the remaining squash for another use. Wring out the squash by squeezing over a strainer in the sink to get rid of as much liquid as possible. Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together flaxseed meal and 6 tbsp water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  5. Transfer flax eggs to a large bowl. Using a hand held mixer, mix flax eggs on medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Add flour and 2 additional tbsp water and mix on low speed for about 30 seconds to combine. 
  6. To the same bowl, add spaghetti squash, quinoa, cheese, spinach, and salt. Mix well with your hands until the mixture has uniform consistency.
  7. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. When hot add olive oil. Frying in batches of 4-5 at a time, portion a scant quarter cup of batter for each fritter in the skillet. Using a spatula, slightly flatten to about 1/2-inch in thickness. Cook until the bottom side of each is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Gently flip fritters over and cook 3 minutes more.
  8. As the fritters are cooked, transfer to a baking tray and place in a warm oven set at lowest temperature of the oven (about 170-degrees F). Continue to cook remaining fritters, adding additional oil as needed.
  9. Serve with sour cream, applesauce, or pure maple syrup. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions, if desired.

Notes

If egg allergy or animal protein is not an issue, substitute 2 pasture-raised organic eggs for the flax eggs.
