Sweet Pan Fried Squash Patties Food

GARLIC-HERB FRIED PATTY PAN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 375°. Place squash in a large bowl. Mix oil, garlic, salt, oregano, thyme and pepper; drizzle over squash. Toss to coat. Place squash on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until tender, 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with parsley.

SQUASH PATTIES

Steps:

• 1. Mix squash, onion, sugar, salt and pepper and place in colander to drain. The salt and sugar will draw the moisture out of the squash. You want most of the moisture out of the squash, so you may leave in the colander for a while or squeeze mixture with your hands to remove as much of the liquid as possible. Place squash mixture in bowl and add flour and eggs. Mix well. Place extra virgin olive oil plus a small amount of canola oil in a frying pan and heat. (The canola oil will keep the olive oil from burning as olive will get very hot and burn quickly.) Form squash mixture into patties and fry until done and browned.

YELLOW SQUASH PATTIES

Steps:

• Place the squash and onion in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and drain about 30 minutes, until no longer moist.
• In a bowl, mix the squash and onion, flour, cornmeal, egg, and cheese. Season with pepper.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop squash mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls into the skillet, and cook 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Steps:

• Toss zucchini, yellow squash, and carrots with salt in a colander and drain for 15 minutes. Wrap vegetables in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible; transfer mixture to a bowl.
• Combine corn muffin mix, baking powder, and paprika in a bowl. Stir in vegetables and eggs until well mixed.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, tilting skillet to spread oil evenly. Drop tablespoonfuls of the zucchini batter into the hot oil, flattening each dollop with the back of a spoon. Pan-fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Cool slightly before serving.

PATTY PAN SQUASH FRITTERS

Steps:

• Before shredding, cut out the stem of the squash, but there's no need to peel it. Remove any large seeds, especially if using a large squash.
• Preheat about 1/2 inch oil (I prefer olive oil) over medium-high heat in a deep skillet.
• Place the squash and onions into a large bowl.
• Beat the eggs, milk and oil into the squash/onion mixture. Then add the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper and mix all until combined.
• Scoop batter using a 1/4 cup measure and drop batter into hot oil. Do not crowd.
• Cook until brown, turn with a spatula and cook the other side until brown.
• Drain on paper toweling.
• Add oil to pan when necessary.
• Keep warm until served.
• Serve with horseradish sauce, ketchup or whatever you like. They are great as is!

DEEP-FRIED SQUASH PATTIES

Steps:

• Halve the squash and scrape out as many seeds as you can. Shred in a food processor, or on a box grater. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add cornstarch, onion, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• Fold in bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Let rest for 15 minutes more.
• Lay out a 2- to 3-foot long sheet of waxed paper on a counter; dust with some of the sifted flour.
• Heat about 1/4 inch oil in a deep-fryer or large frying pan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Form patties out of the mixture, making them a bit smaller than tennis ball, about 1/2 cup each. Squeeze excess liquid out of each patty, then firm up outer edges with your thumbs before placing on the flour-dusted waxed paper; this helps to keep them from falling apart in the pan. Sift more flour over tops of the cakes.
• Drop patties into the hot oil using 2 spatulas; one to hold them in place, one to scrape and drop into the oil, working in batches. Cook until golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat to cook remaining patties.
