Zucchini Fritters
Introduction:
Zucchini fritters are a summer classic — crisp on the outside, tender inside, and perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack. They’re also a great way to make use of seasonal produce while sneaking in extra veggies for kids.
Grating zucchini evenly is the secret to achieving fritters that cook through without becoming soggy. That’s where a rotary grater for zucchini and carrots can be especially handy in the kitchen.
Ingredients:
2 medium zucchinis
1 carrot
1/2 onion
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Olive oil for frying
Instructions:
Grate the zucchini and carrot into thin shreds. Place in a bowl and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let sit for 5 minutes, then squeeze out excess water.
Finely slice the onion and mix with zucchini and carrot.
Add eggs and flour to form a thick batter. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan and flatten slightly.
Cook until golden brown on both sides. Serve warm.
Tips:
Pair these fritters with sour cream or marinara sauce for a tasty snack. Prepping vegetables with a manual rotary grater for zucchini fritters ensures consistent shreds that fry up perfectly every time.
