Introduction

Looking for a snack that’s crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor? Cheesy zucchini fritters are the answer. They’re great as an appetizer, a light meal, or even a party side dish. With the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater, you can shred zucchini and cheese quickly, making prep time short and cleanup easy.

Ingredients (Makes ~10 fritters)

2 medium zucchinis, grated

100 grams cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan), freshly grated

1 large egg

½ cup breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crunch)

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 small onion, finely grated or chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

Salt & black pepper to taste

Olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

Grate the Zucchini & Cheese
Use the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater to grate zucchini and cheese separately. Place zucchini in a bowl, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes. Then squeeze out excess water using a clean towel or paper towel.

Mix the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine zucchini, cheese, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until mixture sticks together.

Shape the Fritters
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture and form into small patties. Keep size even for even cooking.

Pan-Fry the Fritters
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry patties 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.

Drain & Serve
Place fritters on paper towel to drain extra oil. Serve warm with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or a light dipping sauce.

Pro Tips

For extra crispy fritters, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular.

Don’t skip the zucchini squeezing step—too much water will make fritters soggy.

Experiment with cheeses: cheddar adds sharpness, mozzarella gives gooey texture, and parmesan creates a savory edge.

These fritters reheat well in the oven or air fryer, so make a batch ahead.
