Zucchini fritters are the best thing to do with summer squash. Golden, crispy edges. Tender, cheesy centers. Made in one bowl. Ready in 15 minutes. Dip in tzatziki or garlic aioli. You’ll make these all season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tzatziki, sour cream, or garlic aioli<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Grate & Drain Zucchini<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Grate zucchinis using a box grater. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible (crucial for crispy fritters). You should have about 1\u00bd cups squeezed zucchini.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Mix Batter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
In a bowl, combine squeezed zucchini, eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Form & Fry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Scoop \u00bc cup of mixture per fritter. Press into a patty shape. Place in skillet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Drain on paper towels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Serve hot with tzatziki or garlic aioli. Watch them disappear.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Prep Time:<\/strong> 10 min | Cook Time:<\/strong> 10 min | Total:<\/strong> 20 min<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best fresh.<\/strong> Fridge 3 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer at 375\u00b0F for 5-7 minutes (crispy returns). Never microwave \u2014 sogginess is the enemy. Uncooked fritter mixture can be refrigerated for 1 day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
