ZUCCHINI FRITTERS



Zucchini Fritters image

One day I wanted to serve zucchini as a side dish-but I didn't have the time to slice and deep-fry it. So I came up with these fritters instead! They go especially well with barbecued ribs or pork chops and corn on the cob. I'm an avid recipe clipper. I've also assisted at our church's Wednesday night suppers, cooking for as many as 125 people. -Mary Dixson, Catlin, Illinois

Provided by Amy Gonzalez

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Squash     Zucchini     Fried Zucchini Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ pounds zucchini, grated
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg, beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Toss zucchini and salt together in a large colander and place in sink to drain for 10 minutes.
  • Put zucchini in the middle of a piece of cheesecloth; wrap cheesecloth around zucchini and squeeze to drain as much moisture from zucchini as possible.
  • Mix flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, kosher salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Stir in zucchini.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Scoop batter by the tablespoon into the hot skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they may be tough and watery.
  • Grate the zucchini correctly. Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the zucchini. Grating the zucchini too finely will make the fritters mushy.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini. This will help to prevent the fritters from being greasy. You can use a cheesecloth or a paper towel to squeeze out the moisture.
  • Use a nonstick skillet. This will help to prevent the fritters from sticking to the pan. If you don't have a nonstick skillet, you can grease the pan with cooking spray.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the fritters in batches so that they have enough room to brown properly.
  • Serve the fritters hot. Zucchini fritters are best served hot out of the pan. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, ketchup, or tzatziki sauce.

Conclusion:

Zucchini fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for using up leftover zucchini, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect zucchini fritters every time. So next time you have some zucchini on hand, give this recipe a try!
