Zucchini Fritters

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis, grated
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill or parsley
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2–3 tbsp oil for frying

Optional Add-Ins

• Green onions
• Parmesan cheese
• Crumbled feta
• Red pepper flakes

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini

Grate the zucchini into a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture.

Step 2: Remove Moisture

Place the zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This helps make the fritters crispy.

Step 3: Make the Batter

In a large bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, eggs, mozzarella cheese, flour, herbs, garlic, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4: Cook the Fritters

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter and flatten slightly.

Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Serve

Serve warm with sour cream, garlic yogurt sauce, ranch dip, or fresh herbs.

Tips

• Drain zucchini well to avoid soggy fritters.
• Add extra flour if the batter feels too wet.
• Air fry at 375°F for 10–12 minutes for a lighter version.
