Ingredients Method Notes

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)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Grate your zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out the excess moisture to ensure your fritters are crispy.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, onion, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until well-blended.
  4. Using your hands, scoop some of the mixture and shape it into small patties—about 2 inches in diameter.
Baking
  1. Arrange the fritters on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive oil for extra crunch.
  2. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serving
  1. 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.
