Learn how to make delicious Crispy Zucchini Fritters. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

To make these crispy delights, you’ll need a few pantry staples and fresh zucchini. Feel free to make substitutions based on your dietary preferences or what you have on hand.

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a GF option)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to bring a touch of my kitchen into yours. Just as I learned to cook without a recipe, let your senses guide you through each step.

  1. Start by grating the zucchinis and placing them in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  2. After resting, use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
  4. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. It’s important to ensure the oil is hot before adding the batter to get that perfect crispiness.
  5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, flattening it slightly with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
