Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are large, as they tend to be more watery and have a stronger flavor.
- Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. This will help to release the maximum amount of moisture from the zucchini, which is important for preventing the fritters from being soggy.
- Use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread crumbs. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
- Fry the fritters in hot oil. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the fritters from absorbing too much oil.
- Serve the fritters immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. They are also great served as an appetizer or side dish.
Conclusion:
Zucchini parmesan cheese fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for using up leftover zucchini, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you have a zucchini on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
