Zucchini fritters are a simple, crispy, and delicious way to turn fresh zucchini into a snack or light meal. Here’s an easy recipe you can follow:
🥒 Zucchini Fritters Recipe
🧾 Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis (grated)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 3–4 tbsp flour (or chickpea flour for a healthier option)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (like dill, parsley, or coriander)
- 1–2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2–3 tbsp grated cheese (optional)
- Black pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the zucchini
Grate the zucchini, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then squeeze out as much water as possible using a clean cloth.
2. Make the batter
In a bowl, mix zucchini, egg, flour, garlic, herbs, cheese (if using), and pepper. The mixture should be thick, not watery.
3. Fry the fritters
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Scoop small portions, flatten slightly, and fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
4. Drain & serve
Place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
🍽️ Serving Ideas
- Serve with yogurt or garlic sauce
- Pair with chutney or ketchup
- Add a squeeze of lemon for extra freshness
🌟 Tips for Perfect Fritters
- Always squeeze out excess water—this keeps them crispy
- Don’t overcrowd the pan
- Use medium heat to cook evenly without burning
These fritters are crispy on the outside, soft inside, and perfect as a snack, breakfast, or side dish.
If you want, I can give you an air fryer or baked version for a healthier option 👍
