Cleaning out the fridge means that I like to use up veggies that I find that I probably are only going to stay good for another 24 hours. This week I had some zucchini.  I pulled up my Pinterest account and looked at some recipes that I had posted that I have not made yet. I came across zucchini fritters and since I had all of the minimal ingredients on hand, I decided to give them a shot. So. Good. 

The only thing similar to these fritters that I have made are zucchini crabcakes and zucchini tuna cakes.  This is a recipe where I could have added tuna to bulk them up for sure. 

Now that I know how easy these zucchini fritters are to make, I definitely plan on making them more often.  If you want to make a big batch then you can double the recipe. This made six pretty decent-sized fritters.   

A number of ingredients.
The ingredients are items usually in one’s refrigerator on a daily basis.

Ingredients:

  • 1 zucchini shredded
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup of flour
  • 1 tsp chives
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 cup oil 
  • Salt and pepper to taste 
Fritters on a paper towel.
The crispiness of the fritters is up to the cook.

Directions:

  1. Heat oil on medium heat in a large skillet. 
  2. Combine all reminding ingredients. 
  3. Once oil is rippled, add large spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture, one at a time, leavening an inch in between. 
  4. After 2-3 minutes, flip the fritters.
  5. After 2-3 minutes, take the fritters out of the oil and place them on a towel to drain some of the oil. 
  6. Serve with a side of ranch or a dip of your choice.  

Enjoy!
