Description
There’s something comforting about the sizzle of fritters in a pan that takes me back to my grandmother’s sunny kitchen. She believed that even humble zucchini could turn into magic with the right touch. These golden fritters are light, crisp, and full of flavor—a perfect way to bring people together at the table. Make a batch and share the warmth with someone you love today!
Ingredients
2 medium zucchinis (about 2 cups, grated)
1 tsp salt
1 large egg
¼ cup gluten-free flour (or regular flour)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp paprika or chili powder (optional)
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or dill
3 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Grate the zucchini, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes. Then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean cloth or paper towel.
In a bowl, mix the zucchini with the egg, flour, cheese, garlic, pepper, spices, and herbs until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter into the pan, flattening slightly.
Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
