Spaghetti squash is delicious all by itself with a little olive oil and garlic salt, but fritters are another fun way to prepare it. These fritters may also be reheated and make a tasty savory fall appetizer during the winter months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Directions<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 400\u00b0. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, and scoop out seeds. Rub a little coconut oil over cut side of squash halves. Place squash, cut side down, on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and bake for 40 minutes or until you can easily pierce squash with a fork. Remove from oven, remove foil and let squash cool slightly. Using a fork, scrape out squash flesh, and place in a colander over the sink or a bowl to drain. Once squash has cooled completely, gently squeeze all excess liquid. Measure out about 4 cups of squash.<\/li>\n
  2. Beat egg in a large bowl. Add drained squash, herbs, Parmesan, goat cheese, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper; mix by hand until well incorporated. Add flour, and mix again with hands or tongs until flour is interspersed. (TIP: If batter is a little too wet, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. If batter is too dry or loose, add a little water, 1 tablespoon at a time.)<\/li>\n
  3. Portion mixture into 16 small piles. Roll each pile in a ball about 1\u00bd inches in diameter; place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plates. Repeat with remaining piles. The batter will be a bit loose but will firm up once cooked.<\/li>\n
  4. Once all the fritters are formed, heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook a few fritters at a time until light golden brown on one side, about 4\u20135 minutes, gently flattening with a spatula. Flip fritters, and cook on other side until golden brown, about 4\u20135 minutes more.<\/li>\n
  5. Place fritters on a plate, and sprinkle with more herbs, if desired. Serve with applesauce and\/or sour cream as toppings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
