How to make easy crispy squash fritters?
Squash fritters are a great way to make healthy french fries in the oven. They are really good and crispy even if they are not made from potatoes. The crispiness comes from the breading with eggs, panko crisp and parmesan. You can use an ordinary rasp, but panko crisp just makes the fritters more delicious, as this type of rasp is in larger flakes.
In principle, you can also skip the breading, but then it will be closer to oven-baked squash than squash fritters.
