Delicious Savory Squash Pancake Recipe

Today’s Recipe: Savory Squash Pancakes

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m sharing a unique and flavorful recipe for savory squash pancakes that are perfect for a cozy fall brunch or dinner. I was inspired to create this dish after stumbling upon some fresh butternut squash at the farmers’ market, and I knew I had to incorporate it into a new recipe. These pancakes are a great way to add some extra veggies to your meal while still enjoying a comforting and delicious dish.

Ingredients:

• butternut squash (peeled and grated) – 300g
• all-purpose flour – 150g
• egg – 1
• garlic powder – 1 tsp
• onion powder – 1 tsp
• salt – 1/2 tsp
• black pepper – 1/4 tsp
• olive oil – for frying

Kitchen Tools:

• grater
• mixing bowl
• skillet
• spatula

To start, peel and grate the butternut squash until you have 300g. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated squash, all-purpose flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated and you have a thick batter.

Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a round shape. Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Serve the savory squash pancakes hot with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top for a creamy contrast to the crispy pancakes. These make a great side dish for roasted chicken or a hearty salad.

These savory squash pancakes weigh approximately 750g in total, with 4 servings. Each serving is around 180g and contains approximately 250 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the batter before cooking the pancakes. The cheese adds a savory depth of flavor and a crispy edge to the pancakes that you won’t be able to resist.

I hope you give these savory squash pancakes a try and enjoy them as much as I do! Feel free to get creative with the toppings and seasonings to make this dish your own. Happy cooking!
