Fried Zucchini Fritters
Description
This recipe creates fritters by combining shredded zucchini with eggs and two types of cheese—Parmesan and cheddar—which provide richness and savory depth. Minced garlic along with green and white onions add aromatic layers, while salt and pepper season the mixture. Flour is incorporated to bind, and a sprinkling of breadcrumbs on the surface before frying enhances the crunchiness. Cooking on medium-high heat ensures a browned exterior while keeping the center moist.
The fritters can be served hot, accompanied by sour cream and additional green onions for freshness and tang. The balance of melted cheese and tender zucchini creates a satisfying texture contrast with a lightly crisp crust.
Ingredients
- 2 cups zucchini excess moisture removed, shredded
- 2 large egg
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons green onion minced
- 2 tablespoons onion white, minced
- salt
- black pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- breadcrumbs
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the zucchini, eggs, cheeses, garlic, and onions. Add salt and pepper to personal taste.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil to a griddle or pan and heat over medium-high heat.
- Mix the flour into the bowl.
- When the griddle is a nice medium-high temperature, scoop out the batter into circles that are 1/4 of an inch thickness.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top of each fritter when you have them on the griddle to give them extra crunch if desired!
- Cook the fritters until they are a dark golden brown then flip them, cooking the other side until golden brown as well.
- Remove and place on paper towels to drain, then serve with sour cream and more chopped green onions.
