Yellow Squash Patties are a delightful way to enjoy this healthy summer vegetable. They can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or even as a light meal. These patties are a great way to use up excess squash, and they freeze well, making them a great make-ahead option. By using gluten-free flour and leaving out the cheese and egg, they can be made vegan and fit a wide range of dietary needs.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
2.Toss the shredded yellow squash and onion with the salt in a large bowl and let sit for 10 minutes.
3.Gather the shreds in a clean tea towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture. Return the squash and onion to the bowl.
4.Mix in the flour, cornmeal, egg, Cheddar cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
5.Shape the mixture into 2-inch patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
6.Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side.
7.Transfer the patties to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and crispy, about 10 minutes.

PROS

Yellow Squash Patties make for a perfect quick snack or light meal.
They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

They’re gluten-free and low carb, and they can easily be made vegan by leaving out the cheese and egg.

CONS

The patties can be difficult to shape, so it’s important to squeeze out excess moisture from the squash and onion before mixing the ingredients together.

It’s easy to overcook the patties, which can make them dry and less flavorful.
