Crispy on the outside and tender inside, these Zucchini Fritters are a flavorful and easy way to enjoy fresh zucchini. Perfect as a snack, side dish, or light meal, they’re golden, savory, and naturally vegetarian.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini and place it in a large bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Squeeze the grated zucchini in a clean towel or paper towel to remove excess liquid.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Add the drained zucchini and optional herbs, stirring until combined.
  5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot pan and flatten slightly with a spoon.
  7. Cook 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
  8. Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve warm with sour cream, tzatziki, or your favorite dip.

Notes

  • Be sure to remove as much moisture from zucchini as possible for crisp fritters.
  • Adjust flour if the mixture seems too wet to hold together.
  • For a healthier version, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Add cheese, herbs, or chili flakes for extra flavor variations.
