Make crispy, kid-friendly zucchini fritters. This simple recipe creates savory veggie patties, perfect as an appetizer or side.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater.
  2. Place the grated zucchini in a colander. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  3. Firmly squeeze the zucchini to remove as much liquid as possible. You can use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels for this.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese (if using), egg, parsley or chives, and black pepper. Mix well until just combined.
  5. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly to form patties. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  7. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the mixture.
  • If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a tiny bit more egg or water.
  • These fritters are best served immediately, but leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven or air fryer for crispness.
