Ingredients

4 2/3 cups coarsely chopped yellow squash (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 cup crushed saltine crackers (about 30 crackers)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon canola oil, divided
Sliced green onions (optional)
