Cheezy Zucchini Fritters for Picky Eaters

Fritters of all kinds have become a staple in my house. They are so versatile you can literally turn anything into a fritter. The OG for us is this delicious zucchini fritter recipe. They are so easy and you can add salt and pepper to taste to these 5 main ingredients:

🥒Zucchini

🧀Cheddar cheese

🍞Panko breadcrumbs

🥚2 eggs

🧅Sweet Onion

Instructions:

Shred the zucchini as fine as you can on a cheese grater. This will give your fritters a nice, smooth consistency. I choose to peel the skin off the zucchini first, but that is optional.

Use a cheesecloth to get out as much juice as possible. You can use your hands or a thick paper towel too.

Shred the onion on a cheese grater. I like to use the smallest holes for a smooth consistency. Another option is to dice them finely.

Put all ingredients into a food processor and mix well. You can do it by hand too. Just make sure it’s all mixed well.

Scoop batter with a small ice cream scoop onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees.

Let cool on a cooling rack. I like the tired ones because I tend to make a lot.

Full Ingredients List:

• 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini, packed (about 2 small, or 1.5 medium zucchini)

• ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs

• 1 egg

• ½ cup shredded cheese

• ¼ cup onions, finely diced

• ¼ tsp garlic powder

• ¼ tsp salt (optional)

• ¼ tsp pepper (optional)
