These are a super fun way to eat butternut squash this season and they are also low fat as they are cooked with no oil in the air fryer!
Each patty is only 2 Weight Watchers points, making it a diet-friendly option with a satisfyingly crispy top!
They are a different way to enjoy this seasonal vegetable and they are loved by big and small.
Also they are so versatile, because you can fill them with whatever you prefer! I filled mine with spinach, mushrooms and mozzarella but you can add your favourite ingredients! They would be great with ham and cheese too.
Butternut Squash Patties
Recipe details
Ingredients
- 1/2 butternut squash
- 1/2 light mozzarella cheese ball
- Handful mushrooms
- Handful spinach
- 80gr breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Begin by peeling the butternut squash and slicing it into rounds.
- Boil the squash slices for 5-8 minutes until they become tender.
- While the squash is cooking, sauté mushrooms with a dash of oil, salt, and paprika. Add spinach during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Drain the butternut squash slices and assemble your patties. Place some sautéed mushrooms and spinach on one squash slice and add a slice of light mozzarella. Top it with another squash slice to form a patty.
- Whisk an egg and dip each patty in the beaten egg, followed by a coating of breadcrumbs.
- If you want to prepare your own breadcrumbs, I suggest to blend toasted bread with fresh rosemary in a food processor for an additional flavour.
- Cook the patties in an air fryer at 180 degrees Celsius for approximately 10 minutes or until they turn crispy on top.
- Enjoy!
