Description

Deliciously crispy zucchini fritters that are packed with flavor and nutritious ingredients, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Squeeze out excess moisture with a cloth or paper towel.
  2. Mix the drained zucchini with eggs, oat flour, garlic, cheese (if using), herbs, salt, and pepper until combined.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, flattening it slightly.
  5. Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

Notes

Pat the grated zucchini dry to avoid sogginess. Customize with other grated vegetables for added flavor.
