Old-Fashioned Zucchini Fritters

Zucchini season is here, which can only mean one thing: more zucchini recipes! If you’re like me and are drowning in zucchini because you planted way too much, then you’ll definitely appreciate this recipe.

My grandma used to make fritters similar to these, although I don’t remember if she used zucchini or yellow squash. Fritters are such a grandma type of dish, don’t you think?

I hope you enjoy the recipe friends and if you’re in need of more zucchini recipes then be sure to check out the links below.

How to Make Zucchini Fritters:

Shred zucchini and squeeze as much moisture out as possible.

In medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients (except the oil) and stir.

Pour oil into frying pan over medium high heat until oil is hot (this will take approx. 2 minutes.)

Once oil is hot, drop approx. 2 tbsp batter into pan and flatten into a circle with a spoon.

Repeat step 4 until pan is full.

Cook until golden brown (approx 2 minutes) and flip fritters.

Cook additional 2 minutes or until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.

Remove fritters from oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels.
