I followed the recipe exactly, but my fritters didn't turn out crispy at all. What did I do wrong?

These fritters were a little too oily for my taste, but the flavor was good.

These fritters were easy to make and turned out great. I used a combination of Parmesan and cheddar cheese, and added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but these fritters were surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making them again.

These zucchini fritters were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the herbs and cheese added a delicious flavor.
