Butternut Hash Browns

Makes 1 Serving

These are surprisingly good!

1 heaping cup shredded butternut squash
2 tbsp. chopped onion
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
dash ground cumin
dash salt
dash pepper
additional salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings: Ketchup, Salsa, Hot Sauce

Spread the shredded squash out between 2 layers of paper towels. Press down to absorb as much of the moisture from the squash as possible. Repeat if necessary.

Toss squash with all the other ingredients. Bring a small nonstick pan to high heat and generously coat with nonstick spray.
Add mixture to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Flip shreds with a spatula and cook another 2 minutes or so until browned. Top with toppings of your choice. I love it with ketchup.
