Ingredients

• 2 cups (grated) Butternut squash
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and seed the butternut squash, then grate enough of the flesh to yield 2 cups of grated squash.

Step 2

Place the grated butternut squash in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

Step 3

Transfer the grated squash to a large mixing bowl. Add the flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4

Heat 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Scoop about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the butternut squash mixture into the skillet for each hash brown, pressing down gently to flatten and form patties.

Step 6

Cook the hash browns for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 8

Once cooked, transfer the hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm, garnished with your choice of fresh herbs, sour cream, or a side of eggs for a complete meal.
