Squash Fritters are an easy side dish that use an abundant summer vegetable in a fun way.
This recipe a combination of yellow squash, egg, grain-free flour, jalapeño and a bit of sea salt. These fritters take just minutes to prepare and provide a fantastic complement to a large salad or grilled meat.

Instructions
- Place the squash, eggs, coconut flour, arrowroot flour, jalapeño, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Stir until combined. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the butter and olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Spoon 1/4 cup portions of the squash mixture into the sauté pan (I like to use a large ice cream scoop and press the fritters down so they are flat and about 3/4-inch thick. Fry the fritters until golden brown on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the fritters and continue cooking until they're golden brown on the second side. Serve with sour cream, green onion and lemon juice.
