Ingredients for Delicious Zucchini Fritters
Makes about 6 fritters
4 cups of fresh ZUCCHINI, grated
½ tsp SALT
2 GREEN ONIONS, cut into thin 2-inch long slices
¼ cup CREAMY CHEESE
2 EGGS
12 RITZ CRACKERS (or use 3 Tbsp of saltines or flour)
½ tsp BLACK PEPPER
¼ tsp RED PEPPER FLAKES
OIL for frying
Optional: A creamy fritter topping
Directions for Making These Easy Zucchini Fritters
Grate the zucchini into a colander. Mix in salt and set aside for 20 minutes to draw out some of the zucchini’s moisture.
While zucchini is drying out: Slice green onions into thin strains, about 2-inch long. Cover a plate with paper towels to absorb oil when fritters come out of the pan.
After letting zucchini set, squeeze out excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine egg and cheese. Then add zucchini, green onions, crushed crackers and seasonings. Mix to combine ingredients.
Heat oil in large nonstick pan over medium heat. Place ¼ cup of fritter mix in heated oil, use non-metal spatula to flatten each fritter. Check prices for a non-stick skillet on Amazon.
Cook each side of the fritters for about 1 minute or until lightly browned. Place on paper toweled plate to absorb the oil.
Serve warm a la carte, or with your favorite creamy sauce. It can be as simple as a dollop of sour cream or mix up your special recipe.
