Butternut Squash and Sage Latkes
1 medium onion, shredded (¾ cup)
3 cups shredded butternut squash (1 small squash)
¼ cup matzo meal
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 large egg, lightly beaten
6 teaspoons olive oil, divided
Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Spread the shredded onions between 2 sheets of paper towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Transfer the onions to a large bowl. Add the squash, matzo meal, salt, pepper and sage, then toss to coat. Add the egg and 2 teaspoons of the oil. Toss to coat.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil. Working in batches, use a ¼ cup measure to scoop the squash mixture into the skillet, leaving several inches between each mound. Use a spatula to flatten them into roughly 3-inch pancakes.
Cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the latkes to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the latkes are crispy and hot, about 10 minutes.
Serves 12.
