Zucchini Fritters
Imagine a plate of golden, crispy zucchini fritters, fresh off the stove, their edges perfectly crisp while the centers remain tender and flavorful. These zucchini fritters are a celebration of summer’s bounty and an embrace of home-cooked goodness. They are packed with flavor, quick to prepare, and utterly satisfying.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini, grated
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Wash and grate the zucchini, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
- In a mixing bowl, combine grated zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, eggs, green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper; stir until mixed.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot skillet and flatten slightly with a spatula.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Serve warm with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Notes
Use fresh zucchini for best flavor and texture. Squeeze out excess moisture to avoid soggy fritters. For a healthier option, bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
