Zucchini Fritters Recipe
Zucchini Fritters are easy to make with grated zucchini, grated Parmesan, a little flour, and seasonings. Takes about 10 minutes to crisp up on the stovetop.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound zucchini about 3 medium
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- Ranch dip for serving
Instructions
- Place the grated zucchini into a kitchen towel, sprinkle salt on top and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Squeeze all excess liquid and discard the liquid. It should come out to about 1 heaping cup packed after the liquid is squeezed out.
- Transfer the zucchini into a medium bowl. Add the egg, flour, cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper and mix until well combined and mixture sticks together.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the avocado oil, then scoop about 3 tablespoons of the mixture onto the heated pan and flatten with a spatula. Cook until golden on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 more minutes.
- Serve warm with ranch dip, if desired

Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 5 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave, in a skillet with a little olive oil, or in an air fryer before serving.
Freezing Instructions: You can also freeze the fritters before or after cooking them.
- To freeze them prior to cooking, lay them on a flat baking dish in the freezer for at least 4 hours. When frozen, place them in an airtight bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight and cook per instructions.
- To freeze them after cooking, simply store them in an airtight bag after they’ve cooled. To re-heat, thaw in the fridge overnight and bake in a 350°F oven until heated through.
- Instead of eggs, you can use flax eggs. For each regular egg, use 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water.
- Use 1:1 GF flour to make them gluten-free
