Crispy Zucchini Fritters
Enjoy these crispy zucchini fritters, featuring fresh zucchini, garlic, and savory parmesan cheese for a delightful appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds zucchini (about 4 medium zucchini)
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt (divided)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- ½ cup gluten free all purpose flour
- ¼ cup parmesan
- ¼ cup fresh green onion
- ⅛ cup fresh dill (chopped)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Grate zucchini and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, mix, and let sit for 30 minutes to release moisture. Squeeze dry with a cheesecloth and return to the bowl.
- Mix in the egg, then add all remaining ingredients: gluten-free flour, parmesan, green onion, dill, baking powder, pepper, and remaining salt. Stir until a sticky batter forms.
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat with about a tablespoon of oil. Shape the zucchini mixture into thin fritters and add them to the hot pan.
- Fry fritters in batches for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Remove from pan and serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce, like tzatziki.
Notes
- Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini for ultimate crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; cook in batches for even browning.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, with a cooling dip like tzatziki or sour cream. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
