Crispy Zucchini Fritters
Crispy zucchini fritters are a simple recipe to use zucchini in a pan-fried fritter that even people who aren’t vegetable lovers will eat. Put some ranch on the side to dip these zucchini fritters in and everyone will love this finger food. By the time August rolls around, we are in the heart of the zucchini season. While I love my fabulous zucchini brownies, I love making these crispy zucchini fritters too.
How to Make Zucchini Fritters
Then I got my helper cracking eggs. Two eggs, some salt, and pepper were whisked together.
We stirred in the zucchini and 1/2 cup of flour.
And then we went off the recipe. Yep, that is grated Parmesan cheese. I dumped about 1/2 cup into the mixture.
Stir it all the zucchini fritter ingredients together.
Then add some EVOO to a skillet and warm up and spoon the mixture into the pan. Let fry on each side for about 2 minutes.
I then, of course, garnished with more Parmesan cheese. The kids and hubs dipped the fritters into ranch dressing. But they dip everything in ranch dressing, so I am not sure it was necessary.

We've been making these since getting zucchini from the garden. I usually add onion or extra seasonings, but I'll have to try the Parmesan cheese! Yum! ๐
Oh YUM!
Oh! A food processor! Brilliant! Why have I been grating by hand?!? These look great… I will have to give them a try with the small mountain of zucchini and yellow squash our garden is still spitting out.
I have made these and they are wonderful.
congrats on getting all 10 recipes done. These look great.
Wow. This look like a winner. I am so making this when I have enough from my garden!! Thanks a million for the recipe!

OK, that looks amazing! And it takes me back to my childhood. My grandma had a great recipe for this type of thing, and I've never been brave enough to try it. =) Yum!!!
