Zucchini Fritters

These fritters are also incredibly versatile and in New Zealand zucchini fritters can be found to be served stacked up and topped with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce for a nice twist on the classic brunch benedict.

Though, these would also be great served alongside a summer dinner with a bunch of dishes because of how light they are and how easily they accompany any kind of fish or meat or even salads.

Why you'll love these

Crispy and flavorful

My Zucchini Fritters recipe is made with grated zucchini, flour, and seasoning, creating crispy and flavorful fritters that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Easy to customize

This recipe is versatile and can be customized to your liking. You can add your favorite herbs and spices, like garlic, cumin, or paprika, to give the fritters even more flavor. Plus, you can swap out the flour for gluten-free or whole wheat flour to make this dish suit your dietary needs.

Made with fresh zucchini, my recipe is loaded with nutrients like vitamins and minerals, and is a great way to sneak in some veggies into your diet. Plus, these fritters are filling and satisfying, making them a great option for a healthy and delicious meal or as a perfect side dish to a summer spread.

How to prepare Zucchini Fritters

  • Wring it out: Place the grated zucchini in a clean cloth and wring out the excess moisture.
  • Combine: Place the zucchini and all other ingredients into your bowl and stir together to form the batter.
  • Heat: Heat a little oil in a heavy based frying pan and ladle in one spoonful of batter, smoothing out.
  • Golden brown: Cook until golden brown on each side.
  • Repeat: Continue cooking until all the batter is done.
  • Plate up: Place on a plate and serve immediately.
  • Serve: Dig in and enjoy!

Tips for the best Zucchini Fritters

Serving these: There are many ways to perfectly serve your fritters, the images include a quick salsa for some acidity that pairs perfectly (see recipe below in notes), but you could absolutely serve topped with poached eggs, a creamy tzatziki or herby yogurt sauce or alongside a feast of barbecue goods.

Quick salsa: Take 1 cup of cherry tomatoes and roughly chop into quarters, toss in 1 tablespoon of finely chopped parsley and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Serve!

How to make Zucchini Fritters:

Place the zucchini in a bowl, add the eggs, flour, baking powder, breadcrumbs, parmesan and parsley and whisk together until combined.

Heat a little olive oil in a heavy frying pan on medium high heat and place a ladleful of the batter into the frying pan and cook until the edges begin to go a deep golden color.

Flip and cook until both sides are golden, approximately 1 ½ - 2 minutes each side.

Continue with the remaining zucchini fritters until the batter is fully cooked.

Place on a plate and serve whilst hot with a great salsa (or see notes for other suggestions).
