Zucchini Fritters

Two words for you today – Zucchini Fritters. These delicious zucchini fritters are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. A quick and easy meal that never gets old. The best part is that you can serve them as a snack, an appetizer, lunch, or even a light dinner! So many reasons for you to spend some time in the kitchen. This one is definitely for the zucchini lovers out there.

One thing you need to keep in mind while cooking the zucchini is that they contain a lot of water (zucchini is actually about 90% water), so you need to drain them of the liquid really good before cooking. The best way to get rid of the excess water is to grate the zucchini, place them on a clean dishcloth and squeeze them very good.

From here throw your zucchini in a bowl and mix it with the other ingredients. Since they are so simple, I really recommend adding some fresh parsley and garlic. You can, of course, use dry herbs but using fresh ones is always a better choice.

Scoop them right out onto a hot skillet, and try to flatten them up like you would with a pancake. Cook them until golden on both sides and you are ready to serve. Easy peasy, right?

These fritters are wonderfully nutritious, and a good way to sneak in some veggies in your menu. This is the new favorite zucchini recipe in my house and a good way to put the zucchini surplus to use.
