Zucchini Fritters
Zucchini Fritters are a quick and tasty dish that can be served as a side or appetizer. They have a light, crispy texture with bright, savory flavors and are cooked on the stove in just minutes.
Servings: 16 fritters
Ingredients
- 4 zucchini grated, about 2 inches thick/8 inches long, roughly 4 cups shredded
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup diced green onion
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups plain Panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup flour
- 3 tablespoon olive oil divided
Instructions
- Use a kitchen towel to squeeze out the extra moisture trapped in the zucchini.
- After you’ve squeezed out as much moisture as you can, add the grated zucchini to a large mixing bowl along with the eggs, green onion, dill, lemon juice, and salt. Use a large fork to fold the ingredients together until combined. Make sure the eggs are thoroughly beaten.
- Add the breadcrumbs and flour. Fold the mixture again until no dry clumps of flour remain in the bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of your oil in a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat for a few minutes.
- Use a 1/4 measuring cup to scoop out clumps of the zucchini mixture and then use your hands to flatten the mix into discs. Cook 3-4 fritters at a time in the large cast iron pan over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side or until browned. Add additional oil as needed between batches.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure your pan is fully coated in oil to prevent your fritters from sticking as they cook.
- We like to garnish our fritters with some extra lemon juice. You can also serve your fritters alongside dill dip or garlic aioli.
- Store your fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can enjoy your fritters cold or reheat them for 30-45 seconds in the microwave, but reheating in the air fryer is even better.
- It is important to note that reheated fritters will not have as much crunch as fresh ones.
- Make sure you squeeze as much moisture as you can from the zucchini. This helps the fritters hold their shape.
- You can use fresh dill if you have some. If you’re using fresh dill then you’ll want to use 2 tablespoons.
