Cheesy Zucchini Fritters
Zucchini just happens to be my favorite vegetable. I eat zucchini year round. But I especially love when it is season for the summer and I am looking for ways to use all of the garden zucchini up. Zucchini is an amazing vegetable. It can be used to create savory recipes, but it can also be used to bake with and sneak it into something sweet. I have loved making savory recipes with it lately. Zucchini fritters have been on my list for a long time now and I can’t believe that I am just getting around to making them. We LOVED everything about these little fritters especially the cheese! They are filled with three cheeses which bring these zucchini fritters to the next level.
How do you make zucchini fritters?
- Start by grating your zucchini. Remove all liquid from the zucchini. Add in the cheese, flour, egg, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix until combined.
- Heat a large skillet to medium high heat and add the vegetable oil to the pan. Drop the zucchini batter into the skillet. (About 1/4 cup). Let it cook about 2-3 minutes until it turns golden brown and flip.
- Top the fritters with sour cream and chives if desired.
How do you remove the liquid from zucchini?
- Add the shredded zucchini to a colander. Sprinkle the zucchini with salt and let it sit for 20 minutes. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- You can also wring them out by placing them into a paper towel and twisting until dry and excess water has been removed.
Can I freeze zucchini fritters?
They keep well in the fridge or the freezer. If you are dressing them, place on a baking sheet then transfer frozen discs to a bag and seal.
