Instructions
If you haven’t already, bake your spaghetti squash until it can be easily scraped out with a fork. (Remove seeds, place in 400 degree oven for 35 minutes with water in the bottom of your pan).
Be sure to drain any excess liquid from your squash. If there is too much moisture the fritters will not hold up to a sandwich. This step is important so your buns don’t fall apart.
Whisk eggs and add squash, garlic, and herbs. Combine. Next, add the sifted flour, baking soda, and salt. Combine.
Grab a small handful of the mixture (these are Italian measurements, bear with me). Flatten to about 1/4 – 1/2 inch thick. If your mixture is watery then simply squeeze some out when you are forming the fritters. Or you may add a little bit of coconut flour.
Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Fry patties on each side about 2-3 minutes. Lay out on a paper towel after cooking.
Assemble your sandwich. Add whatever you’d like! Turkey. Tuna salad. Burgers. You name it.
