We are in a busy season right now. I’m currently interested in:

- All the help we can get!
These zucchini fritters were actually created because I forgot about the 5 pound bag of zucchini I purchased at Costco the previous week and needed a way to use them up quick. I shredded the zucchini in the food processor and used a cookie scoop to keep things simple.

PinDescription
These zucchini fritters are the perfect after school snack! They are cheesy, crispy, and easy to pull out of the freezer when needed.
Ingredients
- Zucchini fritters
- 2-3 medium zucchini, shredded with the moisture squeezed out
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1/4 c bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/2 C shredded cheese (any combination of parmesan, cheddar, white cheddar, colby, etc)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- salt + pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Combine shredded zucchini, egg, cheese, breadcrumbs, and seasonings in a large bowl. The mix shouldn’t be overly wet; just wet enough that it stays together when scooped.
- Line a tray with parchment paper. I used a cookie scoop to divide the mixture into 3 oz portions. Place about 3 inches apart on baking sheet. Gently press to tops down to flatten into a “patty” shape. (OPTIONAL: to promote browning, I lightly sprayed the patties with avocado oil spray.)
- Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
Notes
Add a 1/4 of a yellow onion to the mix. Just grate the onion when you grate the zucchini.
Add a shredded white potato to the mix to yield more fritters. The starch from the potato will also help the fritter crisp up more. Don’t forget to add a little extra salt.
Freeze these patties for easy weekday snacks! Lay them flat on a tray or plate and freeze for 2 hours. Transfer to a freezer safe bag or container and cook them as needed.
Try cooking them in the air fryer!
Serve with marinara sauce, tatziki, or ranch!
