Zucchini Fritters

Crisp-edged zucchini fritters make a perfect snack, side, or light meal with a golden exterior and tender interior.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup oat flour (or almond flour for a low-carb option)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or dill
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or olive oil spray for pan-frying

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchinis and squeeze out the moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, eggs, oat or almond flour, optional Parmesan, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, dried herbs, and chopped parsley or dill to form a loose batter.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  4. Drop 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each fritter, flattening slightly with a spoon.
  5. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels and serve warm.

Notes

If you don’t have oat flour, pulse rolled oats in a blender to make a quick substitute. Parmesan can be omitted for a lighter or dairy-free fritter.
