How to Make Crispy Zucchini Fritters

Drain the Zucchini

Place the grated zucchini in a clean towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much water as possible. This step helps the fritters stay crisp instead of soft.

Mix the Batter

In a bowl, combine the drained zucchini, eggs, flour, parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt and black pepper. Stir until the mixture holds together.

Shape the Fritters

Scoop small portions of batter and flatten them lightly into patties. Keep them similar in size so they cook evenly.

Cook Until Golden

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the fritters for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through.

Helpful Tips

If the batter feels too wet, add one extra tablespoon of flour. Serve the fritters warm with yogurt sauce, salad or a squeeze of lemon.

Conclusion

Crispy zucchini fritters are quick, economical and full of flavor. With a few simple ingredients, they make a practical homemade dish for busy days.
