Delicious and crispy Summer Squash Fritters that make a perfect appetizer or side dish.

Scale

2 Cups of grated summer squash

1 Cup of diced onion

2 Serrano peppers deseeded and minced (optional)

3 Large eggs whisked

½ Cup of flour

½ Teaspoon of salt

½ Teaspoon of black pepper

½ Teaspoon of smoked paprika

Oil for frying

In a large bowl, combine the grated summer squash, diced onion, and minced Serrano peppers if using.
Add whisked eggs, flour, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the squash mixture and stir until well combined.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly, and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove fritters and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
