Crispy Patty Pan Squash

Crispy Patty Pan Squash is an funny looking squash – round and shallow with scalloped edges. Some think it looks like a flying saucer. The Patty pan comes in a variety of colors and at Rosedale, you’ll find white, yellow and green varietals. I first tried deep fried Pattypan squash in college – it was delicious but I’ve discovered a recipe that’s just as delicious and much healthier!
