I don’t know about you, but I love to experiment in the kitchen and these Crispy Zucchini Fritters are the result of a recent successful kitchen experiment! In my book, the best (and only) way to cook fritters is to make them nice and crispy on the outside. Vegetable fritters are a really great way to sneak more veggies into your diet.
Start these fritters by draining the excess liquid from the zucchini. To do this, I place the zucchini in a colander. Then I sprinkle it with salt and let it drain for a few minutes before squeezing out the excess water by wrapping it in a tea towel. Then I mix all the fritter ingredients together in a bowl and fry them in hot oil until they are crispy and golden brown.
To make Crispy Zucchini Fritters, you will need the following ingredients:
Put the grated zucchini in a colander over a sink or bowl. Sprinkle the zucchini with salt and mix well. Leave to drain before wrapping it in a clean dish towel and squeezing out the excess.
Mix the zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic and egg together in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
In a large pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat.
When the oil is hot, drop a tablespoon of batter in for each fritter. Flatten with a spatula. Cook for about 2 minutes until the underside is crispy and golden brown. Turn and do the same for the other side.
Serve these fritters immediately as they are or you could top with some sour cream if you have any.
These Crispy Zucchini Fritters are super easy to make and they taste amazing. Make a batch soon and come back to leave a comment to let me know how you get on!
