There’s something irresistible about the crunch of baked zucchini fritters, especially when paired with the gooey richness of melted cheese. This wholesome dish is perfect as a light lunch, a tasty appetizer, or a fun finger food for the family. The Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater simplifies prep, shredding zucchini and cheese with ease, adding a fun twist to your kitchen routine. Let’s whip up these delicious fritters!

Ingredients

3 medium zucchinis

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup breadcrumbs

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon dried oregano

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prep the Zucchini

Wash the zucchinis and trim the ends. Attach the 2-Blade Set to your Geedel Vegetable Chopper and secure it to the countertop with its stable suction base—no slipping or wobbling! Feed the zucchinis into the hopper and turn the Z-shaped handle a few times to shred them into fine pieces. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

The sharp stainless steel blades ensure a consistent texture perfect for fritters.

2. Mix the Batter

In a large bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, grated Parmesan (reserve a tablespoon for topping), breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix until well blended into a thick batter.

3. Shape and Bake

Preheat your oven to a temperature suitable for baking. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture, shape into small patties, and place them on the sheet. Sprinkle the reserved Parmesan on top for an extra cheesy crust. Bake until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

4. Serve and Enjoy

Let the fritters cool slightly, then garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm with a side of yogurt dip or enjoy them on their own as a satisfying snack!

Tips and Variations

Zucchini Size: Use smaller zucchinis for a sweeter flavor.

Cheese Swap: Try shredded cheddar (use the 2-Blade Set) for a different taste.

Add Crunch: Mix in grated carrots (2-Blade Set) for extra texture.

Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a kick.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven to retain crispness.
