Easy Zucchini Fritters Recipe
Description
The recipe calls for grating zucchini, sweet potato, and carrot finely and squeezing out excess water from the zucchini to ensure the fritters hold together. The grated veggies are mixed with chopped green onion, minced garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, eggs, rice flour, and ground Parmesan cheese. The mixture is shaped into patties and cooked in avocado oil over medium heat until each side forms a golden crust, providing a contrast between crispy edges and tender centers.
The combination of root vegetables and zucchini gives a subtly sweet and earthy flavor. Parmesan adds umami richness, while garlic and herbs deliver freshness. These fritters work well as a snack, side dish, or light meal.
Flour substitutions like oat or gluten-free flour are possible, and leftover fritters can be eaten reheated from the refrigerator or frozen for up to three months. Garlic powder can replace fresh garlic if needed.
Ingredients
- 1 Large zucchini
- 1 small sweet potato peeled
- 1 Medium carrot peeled
- ¼ Cup green onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 2-3 tablespoons parsley chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste, ground
- 2 Large egg
- ½ Cup rice flour or oat flour
- ¼ Cup Parmesan Cheese ground
- ¼ Cup avocado oil or olive oil
Instructions
- The easiest way to prep the veggies is by using your food processor and setting up the small shredding blade. Alternatively, you can use a medium-small grater. The veggies need to be grated in small bits so they can cook evenly.
- Start by grating the 1 Large Zucchini , then squeeze as much water as you can and place them in a large bowl.
- Continue to shred the 1 Small Sweet Potato and 1 Medium Carrot and add it to the bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients: ¼ Cup Finely chopped green onion, 3 Garlic Cloves (minced), 2-3 tablespoons Chopped Parsley, ½ teaspoon Salt, ¼ teaspoon Ground Pepper , 2 Large Eggs, ½ Cup Rice Flour and ¼ Cup Ground Parmesan Cheese. Using your hands or a large spoon, mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Heat ¼ Cup Avocado oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add about one spoonful of mixture into the pan and gently press it down to create a round-shaped fritter.
- Cook about four fritters at a time for about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate until finished.
- Serve with your favorite dip, and enjoy!
Notes
- Any flour such as oat or gluten-free flour can replace rice flour; almond flour is also possible but affects moisture.
- Remove excess water from grated veggies to improve texture and reduce sogginess.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the microwave before serving.
- Cooked fritters freeze well for up to three months for convenient future meals.
- Fresh garlic can be substituted with a tablespoon of garlic powder if preferred.
