Butternut Squash Latkes

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Butternut Squash Latkes are a veggie filled alternative to the classic.  Using minimal oil, they are a great way to enjoy latkes and stay on plan, too!

Two Butternut Squash Latkes topped with Greek yogurt are on a white plate with a fork on the side.

I’m so excited about these butternut squash latkes.

I’ve seen sweet potato latkes before, but on the 21 Day Fix, sweet potatoes are a yellow.

‪#‎annoying‬

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.

What else can I make with butternut squash?

      It is two. I realize my write up is confusing, but the first time I made it, I didn’t make enough. So the recipe as written is double what I made originally. Hope that helps!

        Yum can’t wait to try this. Than you for sharing. Would it be 2+ green cause the squash is 2 cups precooked?
