Ingredients

• 2 cups grated butternut squash (cut off ends, peel squash and shred w/cheese grater
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• Onion and garlic powders ( a couple of pinches of each)
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Non-stick cooking spray

How To

Cut the peeled squash in half and grate 2 cups. Remove extra moisture from the grated squash by placing the shreds between a couple layers of paper towel. Press down to draw out moisture. The more moisture you remove, the crispier your hash browns will be.

Mix all ingredients into a mixing bowl and toss.

Add squash to a skillet sprayed with non-stick cooking oil. Heat up pan and add squash. Spray squash with a layer of cooking spray. Flip squash halfway through cooking so that both sides get crispy brown.
