Easy Garlic Herb Zucchini Fritters Recipe
I love how these baked Zucchini fritters turned out! I was a bit worried about them turning out a bit soggy but they turned out crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. They are the perfect kid-friendly snack and pairs well as a side dish with grilled steaks or chicken. Add them to lunch boxes or to your meal prep! Serve these zucchini fritters with your favorite dip. If you are looking for an easy homemade dressing or dip try this yogurt dip or try this Ranch Dressing!
How to make Healthy Zucchini fritters
First, you need to shred the zucchini, add some salt to them and place it on paper towels for a few minutes to suck in all the excess water from the zucchini. Pat dry and squeeze a bit to retain any moisture from the zucchini.
Then add the fresh herbs, zucchini, garlic powder, salt, shredded cheese, parmesan cheese, eggs, and flour into a bowl. Stir to combine. Take a spoonful, roll into a ball, place on parchment paper, and pat down to make thinner.
Finally, pop in the oven and bake according to the directions below. Serve with your favorite healthy dip!
Vegan Zucchini Fritters
These zucchini fritters are not vegan because they contain cheese and eggs. You can certainly make a vegan version if you are able to substitute the cheese with vegan cheese. As for the eggs you can replace the one egg with 1 tablespoon of flaxseed or they sell vegan egg replacers and just use one tablespoon. Follow the same directions below.
What’s a good replacement for zucchini?
The highlight of this baked Zucchini fritters recipe is obviously the zucchini. If you don’t happen to either have them on hand or you don’t like zucchini you can make a few adjustments. First, I would say try its sister, the yellow squash. Another couple of options would be a mix of cauliflower and broccoli. This gives me an idea to make some cauliflower zucchini fritters soon. what do you think?
