If you’re looking for a quick and delicious snack, these zucchini fritters are the perfect solution! With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a savory treat that’s light yet flavorful. Zucchini is a versatile vegetable that adds moisture and a mild taste, making these fritters a delightful appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients:
2 small zucchinis
2 eggs
50 ml of milk
100 g of all-purpose flour
1 tsp of baking powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
A pinch of garlic powder (optional)
Olive oil for frying
Instructions:
Prepare the Zucchini:
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly, then grate them using a coarse grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess water to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy.
Make the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder. Mix until you get a smooth batter. Then, fold in the grated zucchini and combine everything well.
Fry the Fritters:
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, pressing them lightly to flatten into fritters. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
Drain and Serve:
Once the fritters are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot, and enjoy the crispy, savory goodness!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving:
These fritters are best served warm and can be enjoyed on their own or with a side of sour cream, tzatziki, or your favorite dipping sauce. They’re also great as a side dish alongside a fresh salad or grilled meat.
Storage:
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fritters on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5-10 minutes, until they’re crispy again. You can also reheat them in a skillet for a few minutes on each side.
