Super delicious and crunchy Chickpea Squash Fritters. These gluten free Chickpea Squash Fritters are so easy and take less than 30 minutes to make!

3 cups Butternut Squash peeled and shredded
1 cup Onions chopped
1.5 cup Chickpea flour
1/2 tbsp Garlic minced
1 tsp Lemon juice
3 tbsp Parsley finely chopped
Oil as needed for frying

Spices
1 tsp Ground Cumin (Jeera powder)
1/4 tsp Ground Turmeric (Haldi powder)
1/2 tsp Cayenne or Red Chili powder
1/2 tsp Salt

In a large bowl, combine the shredded butternut squash, onions, chickpea flour, spices, lemon juice and parsley. Stir with a fork (or your hands) until the mixture is combined well. The consistency should be such that you can form balls with it. Don’t add any water when mixing. The chickpea flour will mix well with the moisture in the squash and onions.

Liberally coat a large pan with oil and let it heat.
Form the squash mixture into small balls and flatten it out. Then place gently in the pan.

Cook on one side for 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fritter is lightly browned. It will take 3-4 batches to fry all the fritters.

Remove from oil with a spatula and transfer the fritters on a plate lined with paper towels.

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with a dip of choice.
