Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchini, grated
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond/oat flour for gluten-free)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (parmesan or feta)
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini: Use a coarse grater to shred the zucchini. Lightly salt and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Drain: Squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, egg, flour, and cheese. Stir until a thick batter forms.
- Cook the fritters: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and flatten slightly with a spatula.
- Fry: Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with yogurt, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use almond or oat flour to make the fritters gluten-free.
- Add chopped herbs (like parsley or chives) for extra flavor.
- Great for meal prep—reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
