  • Yield: 810 small fritters 1x

Description

These 4-ingredient zucchini fritters are quick, crispy, and perfect as a snack, appetizer, or veggie-packed side dish. Made with just zucchini, egg, flour, and cheese—they’re easy, low-effort, and delicious!


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

  1. Grate the zucchini: Use a coarse grater to shred the zucchini. Lightly salt and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Drain: Squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
  3. Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, egg, flour, and cheese. Stir until a thick batter forms.
  4. 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.
  5. Fry: Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp.
  6. 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.
