Crispy Zucchini and Sweet Potato Fritters (Baked)

Uri Pugh

Report

Our zucchini and sweet potato fritters are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with hints of lime and fresh herbs. Unlike others, they’re baked, not fried, but still achieve that perfect crunch thanks to the cornmeal. Naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, these fritters are a tasty and wholesome option for any meal.

Instructions

Prep the Veggies: Grate the sweet potato and zucchini, then place the grated zucchini into a large bowl lined with paper towels (or a clean kitchen towel). Cover with another paper towel and let it sit for 15 minutes. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible to avoid soggy fritters.
Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, sweet potato, and the remaining ingredients. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and hold together when pressed.
Form the Fritters: Scoop out about ¼ cup of the fritter mixture per fritter and form small patties. Press lightly to flatten.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with olive oil. Place the fritters on the baking sheet, brushing with a bit of olive oil for extra crispiness. Bake for 20-25 minutes, then increase the temperature to 425°F for the last 5 minutes for a nice golden brown finish.
Serve: Enjoy warm with your favorite dip, or as a side dish paired with a salad.

Notes

Storage: Leftover fritters can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. They can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to restore their crispiness.
Cripsy Fritter Tip: Thoroughly squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini to ensure your fritters are crispy, not soggy.
