Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for zucchini fritters!
Easy Zucchini Fritters Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Zucchini:
- Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and squeeze out any excess moisture. This helps the fritters stay crispy.
- Mix the Fritter Batter:
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese (if using), egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Stir everything together until well combined.
- Cook the Fritters:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and drop it into the pan, flattening it gently with a spatula to form a small patty.
- Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.
- Drain and Serve:
- Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream, yogurt, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.
Enjoy your crispy zucchini fritters! They’re perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
