Make these crispy zucchini fritters for a quick and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to prepare and perfect for using up garden zucchini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form patties.
  4. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the fritters from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
  6. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispy fritters, ensure you squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini.
  • These fritters can be made ahead and reheated in an oven or air fryer for best results.
  • To freeze, place cooled fritters on a baking sheet in a single layer until frozen, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat from frozen.
  • For a keto version, substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour and omit the Parmesan cheese or use a keto-friendly alternative.
  • These pair well with a side of Greek yogurt or your favorite dipping sauce.
