Butternut Squash Latkes {21 Day Fix}

And so I had a thought. If sweet potato works, would butternut squash? I mean- they taste practically the same. But butternut squash is a GREEN!

Guess what?

It freaking worked.

I used my Paderno to shred the butternut squash and then I added some diced onion, garlic, salt, pepper and egg.

I used the smallest amount of olive oil, along with cooking spray to fry them and WOW.

Amazing butternut squash latkes.

Even better? I topped them with a little Greek yogurt. Yuuuuuum.

What do I need to make Butternut Squash Latkes?

• 2 cups of butternut squash
• 2 eggs
• 2 T diced onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• sprinkle of salt and pepper
• 1 tsp olive oil
• olive oil cooking spray

What if I don’t have a Paderno?

That’s ok!  You can chop your butternut squash into smaller pieces and use your food processor to shred, or use a good old box grater.
