Quick and crispy zucchini fritters made with minimal ingredients, perfect for a snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander. Let it sit for 10 minutes to drain excess moisture.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the grated zucchini, beaten egg, flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form patties.
  5. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove the fritters from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  7. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra crispy fritters, you can skip squeezing the zucchini. The extra moisture helps create a crispier exterior.
  • These fritters can also be made in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • For a healthier option, bake the fritters on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
