Squash fritters are a delightful dish made by combining grated squash—typically zucchini or yellow squash—with ingredients like flour, eggs, herbs, and spices, then pan-frying to golden perfection. Originating from various culinary traditions, squash fritters are particularly popular in Southern American cooking and Mediterranean cuisine. These crispy patties are a great way to incorporate vegetables into meals, offering a delicious balance of textures and flavors. Packed with vitamins A and C, squash provides essential nutrients and antioxidants that support overall health. However, the frying process can add extra calories and fat, so opting for lighter oils or baking can make them more nutritious. Squash fritters can be served as a snack, side dish, or even a vegetarian main course, making them versatile and easy to enjoy in a balanced diet.
