Crispy Baked Zucchini Fritters
A light, crispy, and utterly delicious way to sneak more veggies into your meal with these flavorful fritters.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch!)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil spray (for that lovely golden finish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Grate your zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out the excess moisture to ensure your fritters are crispy.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, onion, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until well-blended.
- Using your hands, scoop some of the mixture and shape it into small patties—about 2 inches in diameter.
Baking
- Arrange the fritters on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive oil for extra crunch.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serving
- Enjoy these delightful fritters fresh out of the oven with your favorite dip or topping!
Notes
Squeeze moisture thoroughly from the zucchini for a crisp texture. Experiment with spices and herbs for flavor variations. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
