Zucchini Fritters make a beautiful snack that is easy and 

delicious. These fritters are packed with fresh zucchini, 

Parmesan cheese, and a some Mozzarella cheese for an 

extra cheesy bite.  

Zucchini Fritters

Zucchini is the one vegetable that everyone in my family will 

eat. Not counting potatoes or veggies hidden in soups, I 

know that even my kids will eat some roasted zucchini. 

Zucchini bread and zucchini muffins go over well too, even 

though there is “something green” inside. That’s why 

zucchini fritters is another great way to get some vegetables 

into the picky eaters. 

It makes a nice snack, appetizer, or even a side dish. I’ve 

made zucchini fritters to go with baked chicken, steaks, and 

even seafood. Zucchini goes well with many meats.

When serving it as an appetizer or a snack, all you need is a 

simple dip. There are many dips and sauces you can serve 

with these fritters but sour cream is the simplest one that will 

never disappoint. Also, try ranch dressing, Cajun remoulade, 

avocado ranch, creamy cilantro lime dressing, and cucumber 

raita. Basically, anything creamy and cool will be a nice 

balance of flavor.

HOW DO IT MAKE ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Grate zucchini on a box grater, on the side with larger holes, 

and transfer grated zucchini into a mesh bag or cheese 

cloth. Eliminate the liquid as much as you can.

Transfer squeezed zucchini into a mixing bowl and add

 remaining ingredients. Mix well until all ingredients are 

thoroughly incorporated. 

Preheat cooking pan over medium heat and lower the 

temperature a little bit. Add oil and use an ice cream scoop 

(or a smaller scoop) to scoop out even amounts of zucchini 

mixture. Gently shape the fritters with your hands and place 

into the cooking pan. 

Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on the size of 

the fritters. Try to only flip once so there is less chance of 

them breaking apart.
