Oven-Baked Butternut Squash Fritters – Gluten-free version
Butternut squash fritters with a golden crust from the oven, no frying, and Parmesan inside that adds depth. Squeeze the squash well so they don't turn soggy. Gluten-free version: Gluten-free flour blend.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with the olive oil.
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.

Coarsely grate the vegetable, put in a clean cloth and squeeze out the liquid well.

💡Squeezing hard is the secret: grated vegetables are full of water, and without squeezing, the fritters steam in the oven and never get crisp.
3
Mix the vegetable, eggs, gluten-free flour blend, cheese, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt and black pepper.
4
Shape the mixture into flat rounds, place on the pan and brush lightly with oil.
