step by step directions. We've Made Cooking As Easy As 1-2-3! print recipe 
  • step 1
    ingredients 1 Medium Spaghetti Squash (cooked and shredded)
    instructions Cut squash in half and remove seeds. Roast on foil-lined half sheet pan in a preheated 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. Let cool. With a fork scrape squash to remove long strands and place on a towel.
  • step 2
    ingredients 1 1/2 tablepsoons chopped Fresh Sage
    1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg (grated)
    1 Scallion (green and white parts) thinly sliced on the bias
    2 teaspoons Garlic (minced)
    1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground Pepper
    4 oz Bleu Cheese (coarsely chopped or crumbled)
    Zest of 1 Orange
    1 Large Egg
    3 tablsepoons All-Purpose Flour
    instructions Wrap the spaghetti squash in a kitchen towel and wring as much liquid out of it as possible, discarding the liquid.
  • step 3
    ingredients Canola Oil for deep frying
    instructions In a medium bowl, combine the squash spaghetti, sage, grated nutmeg, scallion, garlic, pepper, bleu cheese, and all but 1 teaspoon of the orange zest. Stir in the egg and flour and mix well until combined.
  • step 4
    ingredients Fresh Sage leaves
    instructions Add the canola oil to a large shallow pan -- you want about 1/4 inch, or enough so that when all the fritters are in the pan, the oil comes halfway up their sides. Place the pan over medium-high heat. Oil should be heated to 360-370 degrees for frying. 
  • step 5
    ingredients 1 teaspoon Orange Zest
    1 teaspoon Coarse Sea Salt or Kosher Salt
    instructions Form fritters by hand or using a 1/4 cup measure, and fry them in the hot oil in batches. Cook until the fritters are golden brown on each side, 4 to 6 minutes. After the fritters have cooked for a couple minutes add some fresh sage leaves, but be careful because they will pop. Fry sage leaves for a couple minutes and remove with fritters. Drain fried fritters on paper towels.
  • step 6
    instructions Transfer the fritters to plates and garnish with with reserved orange zest, fried sage leaves, and some coarse sea salt or kosher salt.
