Zucchini Fritters are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with fresh herbs and zucchini flavor. They’re quick to make, versatile, and perfect as a snack, side dish, or light vegetarian meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or chives)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Grate zucchini and place in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10–15 minutes. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean towel or cheesecloth.
  2. In a bowl, combine drained zucchini, eggs, flour, garlic, herbs or green onions, Parmesan (if using), and black pepper. Mix into a thick batter.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Scoop 2–3 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the skillet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
  5. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Serve warm with sour cream, yogurt, or your favorite dip.

Notes

  • Ensure zucchini is well-drained to avoid soggy fritters.
  • Add shredded cheddar or feta for a cheesy twist.
  • For gluten-free fritters, use almond flour or a GF flour blend.
  • To bake: Place on a parchment-lined sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
