Zucchini and Yellow Squash Fritters image

A tasty and colorful summer dish, goes well as a side or, if you're me, it can make an entire meal (with some sour cream for dipping)! I'd been seeing all the reviews of zucchini fritters lately, but since I had yellow squash in the fridge, I decided to mix them up. Not exactly ground-breaking, but it made a wonderful little treat! If you prefer a little more bite, these would porbably be great spiced up with some cayenne. I also might try using sharp cheddar instead of the parm in the future.

Time 20m

Yield 8-10 fritters, 2-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium zucchini, grated
2 small yellow squash, grated (or 1 large yellow squash)
1 small sweet onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup romano cheese
1 egg
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons other frying oil

Steps:

  • Remove seeds from the squash and zucchini, then coarsely grate them so that they have a rope-like texture. Using a food processor would work, too.
  • Add 1 tsp salt to the zucchini and squash and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then remove as much water as possible from the zucchini and squash. You can do this by placing it in a colander and pressing with a spoon, or by wrapping it in a clean dishcloth and squeezing.
  • Add onion, cheese, parsley, and the egg, then season with salt and pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder, then add the flour into your zucchini and squash mixture and mix well.
  • Heat the 2 tbs oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Then drop handfuls of the mixture into the oil and flatten with your spatula. Let them fry on one side for 2:30-3 minutes, then flip and fry for another 2 minutes. Remove from pan and place them on a paper towel to drain. Repeat until you've used all your batter.
  • Serve warm, with sour cream for dipping.

These fritters are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I've made them with zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, potatoes, and even kale. They're always delicious.

I made these fritters in a waffle iron and they turned out perfectly! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

These fritters are a great way to use up leftover rice. I added some cooked rice to the batter and they were even more filling and delicious.

I'm gluten-free and I was able to make these fritters with gluten-free flour and they turned out great! They were just as crispy and delicious as the regular flour version.

These fritters are so easy to make and they're a great way to use up leftover zucchini and yellow squash. I added a bit of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter and they were even more delicious.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I really enjoyed these fritters. The yellow squash and herbs helped to balance out the zucchini flavor, and the fritters were cooked perfectly.

These fritters were a huge hit with my family! The combination of zucchini and yellow squash gave them a delicious flavor, and the addition of herbs and spices made them even more flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
