Zucchini Fritters Recipe
Report
These Crispy Zucchini Fritters get a crusty sear from the skillet and are finished off in the oven for a light, fluffy, non-soggy center. Healthier than deep-frying and packed with the most delicious Parmesan and garlic flavor, they’re a hit even with the pickiest eaters!

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Grate zucchini using a food processor with a grating attachment or with a boxed grater. Lay zucchini out in a flat layer and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10-15 minutes. Strain excess moisture from zucchini using a cheesecloth or a thin dish towel. You will end up with about 1 cup of grated zucchini and 1 cup of strained liquid.
- In a large bowl combine grated zucchini, flour, cheese, egg, garlic, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Form 8 equally-sized balls that are each about 2-3 tablespoons each.
- In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat add 1 tablespoon oil and 4 balls. Smash zucchini balls with the back of a spatula and spread out to about 2 ½ - 3 inches in diameter and about ½-inch thick.*
- Sear zucchini fritters for 2-3 minutes per side or until browned. Remove from skillet. Repeat with remaining zucchini balls. Place all zucchini fritters back into the skillet and bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.
- Serve zucchini fritters with sour cream and finely chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
- Serving Size: 2 zucchini fritters equals one serving.
- Prepping Ahead: These zucchini fritters do not do well when mixed together ahead of time and not cooked. The zucchini will continue to lose its moisture and you will end up with a soggy mess.
- Storage: Let the cooked zucchini fritters come to room temperature. Then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
