Easy Zucchini Fritters

Crispy, golden zucchini fritters that transform a humble vegetable into a delightful dish, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to help draw out excess moisture.
  2. Drain the zucchini. After 10 minutes, use your hands to squeeze out all unnecessary moisture from the zucchini.
  3. Mix the ingredients. In a mixing bowl, blend the drained zucchini with flour, Parmesan cheese, the beaten egg, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well combined.
  4. Heat the oil. Pour oil into a frying pan over medium heat until hot.
  5. Form the patties. Using a spoon, scoop the zucchini mixture onto the pan, shaping them into small patties and flattening them gently.
  6. Fry the fritters. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they achieve a beautiful golden brown.
  7. Drain excess oil. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
  8. Serve warm. Enjoy these delightful golden fritters as a side dish, snack, or party treat.

Notes

Make-ahead tips: You can prep the zucchini mixture a few hours in advance and keep it in the refrigerator. For a healthier alternative, consider using an air fryer.
