Hello once again my fellow food lovers! so I noticed that most of my followers are either in love with desserts or vegetables, so now that summer is in full swing I think it would be great to add some delicious butternut squash into our recipe box, I made these a while back and to my surprise I totally forgot to share it with all of you, this recipe I acquired it from my favorite and only book I have of my dear country Colombia. These butternut squash fritters are legit, in all due respect. They’re crispy, slightly sweet, and full of butternut squash and sage flavor. If you like butternut squash, you will love these fritters. They’re a must!
