Easy zucchini fritters
Zucchini fritters are a delicious appetizer or a side dish. Made with only 4 ingredients, these fritters are packed with fresh zucchini, cheese, flour, and seasoning. They are soft on the inside and nice and crispy on the outside. Enjoy them hot or cold, as an appetizer, side dish, or snack.
Ingredients
- 3 large zucchini, or 4 medium ones
- 1 egg
- 1 cup shredded cheese mozzarella, provolone, parmesan or a mix
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- oil for frying
Instructions
- Start by shredding the zucchini using the side of a box grater with the largest holes. Put the grater in a colander and grate the zucchini directly in the colander.
- Press your hands down on the shredded zucchini to remove their liquid. Squeeze out as much of the excess liquid from the zucchini as you can.
- Place the squeezed zucchini into a large mixing bowl and toss in the remaining ingredients. Mix all the ingredients until well combined.
- Preheat a large cooking pan over medium heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of oil to the pan.
- Add a heaping tablespoon of the zucchini batter to the hot pan for each zucchini fritter. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon and shape them, then cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined serving plate while you fry the remaining fritters.
- Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or tzatziki sauce.
